Northolt Station Flight Islanders

[Davef68]

I note from UK Serials that the Northolt Islanders appear to have been withdrawn from use and sold to civillian ownership (with Islander Aircraft Ltd at Cumbernauld)

Which immediately makes me wonder what they have replaced them with! Contracted DA42s, in a similar fashion to the Met Police's arms-length fixed wing aerial surveillance capability?

There are a couple of civil twins,(Navajos I believe),operating from there,both during the day and late at night.....assume these are doing that job.....Think there was an article,either on FC or another Mil spotting site,which referred to some ex RAF/Mod pilots setting up a civilian outfit in this regard....Stuart

Same company that provides the oilspill 727s and the Blades display team

[Precinct7]

believe there now a total of 4 Navajos based at Northolt for the contract

Ahh.
I saw a couple at Sywell on Wednesday and wondered what they were going to do with them.
