G-BELF (G-HEBZ)
Britten Norman BN-2A-26 Islander
Built 1977
C/N 823
Wearing a fake but authentic looking Scottish Ambulance Service livery and carrying it's previous registration which it did wear most of it's operational life, it did however end it's days as G-HEBZ. BELZ was it's BN test livery and it was delivered to Germany as D-IBRA with Atlas Air Services. It returned to the UK with Atlantic Air Transport of Coventry in Oct 1987 and commenced a rather nomadic career around the UK. Next was Janes Aviation of Blackpool in Feb 1990, Flying Tiger Skydiving Club of Goodwood Mar 1991, Activity Aviation of Dundee also skydiving Feb 1992, The Black Knights Parachute Centre of Cockerham Dec 1997 and finally Cormack Aircraft Services of Cumbernauld Jun 2004. It was re-registered HEBZ Mar 2007, presumably operating the western isles services for Hebridean, the reg was only cancelled in Nov 2018.
Our journey from Imperial Beach to Islander Grill on Park Blvd was a massive tease. The restaurant was open but ran out of chicken kelaguen (not sure if I spelled that right, too lazy to search).
When I was at school 30 years ago I used to watch this Britten Norman Islander plying its trade for the Headcorn parachute school - climbing hard as steeply as it could, discharging its load, then diving away again to be back on the ground before its cargo arrived! Then, in 2014, I got a ride in an Islander in Orkney (just like being in a very small, noisy minibus!), and that one climbs to not very high at all, and does miles and miles horizontally. I'd love to see the career flight profiles of the two aircraft! Incidentally, it's well worth a trip round Orkney by plane, it's just gorgeous.
Feast Preparation day for the Islanders!

Facial casts of Nias islanders, J.P. Kleiweg de Zwaan, 1910
In the early 20th century, the Dutch anthropologist J.P. Kleiweg de Zwaan studied the physical features of human races. On Nias Island in the former Dutch East Indies, he recorded the appearance of a group of living men by making plaster moulds of their faces. The moulds were brought to the Netherlands, where lifelike casts were made of them. For anthropologists, these numbered casts embodied the ethnic diversity of Nias islanders.
