BN2B/BN2T - Islander |
The ubiquitous Islander is
the best-selling commercial aircraft produced in Western Europe. Adaptable, versatile and
durable, it has an unsurpassed record of solving transportation problems simply and
economically in some of the world's harshest environments. |
Ten seats, twin engines and a design driven by the requirement
for ease of operation provide exceptional levels of utilisation.
Constant refinement ensures that the Islander continues to excel
in modern-day roles including environmental protection,
transportation, air ambulance, fisheries protection, photo
surveying, policing and parachuting to name but a few.

In addition to this 300HP Lycoming
version of the Islander, there is
also a 260HP Lycoming
version and a twin Rolls-Royce 250 B17C series Turboprop model
available.
