Britten-Norman Islander
The Islander is Britten-Norman's small utility airplane: an all-metal, high-wing twin with fixed landing gear, certified for up to ten people including the pilot. The first BN2 was certified in the United Kingdom in August 1967, followed by the BN2A in 1968 and the BN2B in 1979. The piston versions have two Lycoming O-540 or IO-540 engines of 260 or 300 horsepower and file under the ICAO code BN2P; the turboprop BN2T has its own code. This site lists the BN2B-20, one of the piston Islanders still flown by small airlines.
