dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 BA/Loganair BN-2 Islander, departing Barra and then first heading east to pass over Rum and then doglegging down to the Sound of Mull before landing at Glenforsa on the Isle of Mull. Barra Airport is unusual in that it's literally on the beach and only usable at low tide. Glenforsa is a private strip used by the Glenforsa Hotel. For commuting round the islands, aircraft such as the Islander are in their element as there are few other aircraft that can do the job. The trip was done in real world weather in the afternoon. Model is freeware by Marcel Kuhnt. Thanks for viewing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Nice shots and flight Alan, Barra is a cool airport (strip/beach?) although real world weather for me is usually foggy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's a freeware one that was originally done by Marcel Kuhnt but with a livery set added by a third party. I think it's still around , though I've had it a while. Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nice pics ! I've been using a similar livery with same registration for my payware Flight 1 Islander. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The payware version is very nice, worth it if your an Islander fan, I'll stick with my Twotter though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate and use both of them... the Islander is cheaper to buy and operate, but the Twotter can take almost twice the payload ( 2700 lbs against 1400 lbs iirc ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
