String has posted a photo of a Britten Norman Defender - if you look at the nose you will see a slight difference between it and the Islander in the second post.

It is a Defender-it has several differences to the Islander-the nose and tail are completly different on the Defender.
The internal differences are also substantial but I won`t go into that.

I have attached a pic I took of it recently ZH002 is the Reg.
