This is my fourth airplane kit, my second Britten Norman Islander. It is the 1/72 scale Airfix kit. While my first appears to be from the original 1970’s run, in the first box and made of yellow plastic, this was in a larger box and grey plastic. This kit also offered adaptions to model the military BN Defender instead.

I have painted her as G-BOMG, operated by Loganair (as per the nose decals), in British Airways “Chatham Dockyard” livery. Also wearing Scottish Ambulance Service crests, as Mike Golf additionally operated as an Air Ambulance. Whilst researching the aircraft I learned, with sadness, that it crashed in 2005. During the night of March 15th, BOMG was tasked on an Urgent call (within 3 hours) for a 10yom C/o Abdo Pain ?Appendicitis. The pilot appeared to struggle maintaining headings and the aircraft crashed into the sea on approach to Campbeltown, tragically killing both the pilot and flight Paramedic.

The following year SAS would contract Gama Aviation for both fixed wing and helicopter ambulance services. Loganair had provided this since 1967. G-SASC, a Gama operated King Air, carried the name of Paramedic John McCreanor of Paisley Station, lost in the crash of Mike Golf.

Loganair continue to fly the BN Islander, famously on the shortest commercial flight in the world. The Islander remains a popular, rugged aircraft, still in production to this day. Building of the Islander returned to the Isle of Wight in recent years.
