Britten-Norman aircraft
Britten-Norman is the British maker of the Islander, a small, all-metal, high-wing twin with fixed landing gear and room for up to ten people, based at Bembridge Airport on the Isle of Wight. The first BN2 was certified in the United Kingdom in August 1967, and the piston-engine BN2A and BN2B followed, along with the turboprop BN2T. Islanders were also built under licence in Romania and the Philippines. The type certificate is held by Britten-Norman Aerospace. This site lists the BN2B-20 Islander, one of the piston versions still flown by small airlines.
