Manchester Monday 2 2nd February 2026.
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!

Ein kleiner Britten-Norman Islander soll ab Mitte 2026 als fliegender Mobilfunkmast seine Runde drehen. Erstmal testweise und mit dem Ziel bei Katastrophen zu helfen – ähnlich wie das Telekom-Projekt hierzulande. Später soll daraus aber auch ein kommerzielles Netz entstehen. Nur viel höher, aber auch viel tiefer als LEO-Konstellationen.

5G-Mobilfunk muss nicht zwangsweise terrestisch genutzt werden. WMS und Britten-Norman wollen nun das Potenzial in der Luft austesten – um etwa im Katastrophenfall helfen zu können. Zudem ist der Test eine Voraussetzung für ein späteres Angebot aus der Stratosphäre.

This plane never actually went to Taiwan, instead going to Isles of Scilly Skybus, in Southern England, where it has been ever since.
