Photo Comment

Arriving for static display at the Australian International Airshow. It was exhibited with a dummy EO turret on the nose. This Turbine Islander was built in 1982 and registered in the UK as G-BJYZ, then G-BOBC before going to the USA as N54EW in June 2006. It seems to have been the Britten-Norman demonstrator there before being re-registered VH-YVH on 2 December 2008 and flown to Australia to become the company demonstrator here.
