Jochen that converted Islander is indeed a good looking one. This conversion, which is a very difficult one as all original Islander parts are removed/replaced is better known as the “Rockwell 690B Turbo Commander” :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

Hi Jochen,
Are you happy with the gear so far? And is it an inprovement over the Minolta?
BW Roger
Always have eye contact with the horizon works for me. I often get airsick while taking air to air pics,(flying backwards while looking through a lens isn’t realy very helpfull when sick) and when it starts to get worse I concentrate on the horizon and it helps (so far). BW Roger
As this is in Holland it is not usual that the trees are without leaves in May. However in early April this is normal, so my guess the pic was shot earlier than May, so the April date might be right. BW Roger
I was told it had gone to Sligo in Ireland. That’s all the info I have so far. BW roger
Oke. By the way, I had to cancel my holiday so I’ll be going alo to the open day at the military museum in mid april. Understand it will be good. BW Roger

600 meter is enough for landing. BW Roger

Yes, it is long out of production and is/was based on the Caribou. Not much of them are around anymore and in Europe they are an extreme rarity today.
