The article says Design of the Islander started in 1963 and the first prototype BN-2 first flew on 13 June 1965,

I'm sure I saw the Islander at an air display when I was at RAF Colerne about 1960. It was certainly before 1963-65 since I'd left the forces by then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.114.84 (talk) 12:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

The company's webpage (www.britten-norman.com/links/about.htm, accessed 11 March 2008) lists the 1963 and 1965 dates, so they are probably correct. Perhaps there is a similar-appearing aircraft out there that you remember. Raymondwinn (talk) 13:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
