Who says they aren't still 'dodgy'? :ninja:

I saw a white islander take of at 10:10 this morning. Presume this is the same aircraft.

Has anybody eyeballed this Islander at Waddo and can confirm it is G-BJOH - thanks.

Possibly doing twin training for RAF crews ( maybe Defender/Islander/Shadow related ) or other duties..............

Do islanders launch or do they float serenely into the air?
As they are still undertaking the same role, they always will.

I have no idea

I heard Bobcat 18 inbound to Waddington again yesterday. The pilots sound like they have a military background but that is just my general Impression - I don't want a black hawk hovering over my house and men in black kicking in the front door!
