At Enniskillen? I saw a puma fly over today and thought of you :) Again, no memory card in the camera so no photo.

Here are my defenders from previous trip;

The Defender and Islander are very different animals-the Defender or Defender 4000 to give it it`s full title,has quite a few modifications to the airframe.

The BN2 Islanders used by the AAC and Police are much more like the civvie type Islander except for all the goodies they have inside.

I think you will see the Defender version becoming a more common site at  Aldergrove as I hear 2 more airframes for the AAC are on there way soon.

Ahh, I'm a n00b with military or army aircraft  ;D

I take it my first picture is a defender, whilst the other two are islanders?

Yes,the Defenders are relocating to Aldergrove on a permanent basis (if they havn't already).
