A new website documenting each de Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter. (eventually!)
http://www.twinotterarchive.com
A work in progress, dedicated to Michael J. Ody. Mike documented this aircraft in great detail (20,000 pages!) and has thousands of images in his collections. Neil Aird (DHC-2.COM) joined by researchers Erik Johannesson (Canada) and Ian Macintosh (UK) have undertaken the task of making all this information available on line. The first 150 aircraft are now on the website. New data and photographs will appear daily.
We hope Mike would be happy with our work. Detailed PDF’s can be downloaded for the history of each airframe.
A companion blog is already online, it tracks the movements of Twin Otters worldwide.

Check the sites out, they are there for you.

Great work!
The place I work for operates 4 Twotters in and out of Antarctica, nothing else would do the job. Superb aircraft.

Keep up the great work….

Good luck with your project!
Looking at a few entries reminds me of how far afield they worked. Bush plane, military operators, one of the first turbine powered “commuter” airliners…the type has quite a history.
I read (and occasionally contribute to) your Beaver site, so I’ll be dropping in from time to time.
I’d be curious to learn what happened to Weldy Phipps’ “Whisky-Whisky Popa” and its stablemate “WPP”.
