G-BEEG, Britten-Norman BN-2A-26 Islander, Northern Airlines, wearing the colours of it's previous operator, LoganAir, at Manchester Barton, some time in the 1990s.
This wasn't an airline as s most people would recognise it, they operated ad hoc flights from local airfields to 3000+ feet, after which passengers would de-plane and make their own way to the ground.
And I'm jealous, because the one time I did a parachute jump, it was from the back of a crappy little Cessna 206, not one of these beauties.
Come to think of it, I was actually booked onto a LoganAir flight operated by a BN2, from Aberdeen to Glasgow, but it was over-booked, so they replaced it with an SD-3-60.
That was still a new type to me, and we had a "meal" service on board, which you wouldn't get on one of these, but still, I was gutted!
