  1. Ein kleiner Britten-Norman Islander soll ab Mitte 2026 als fliegender Mobilfunkmast seine Runde drehen. Erstmal testweise und mit dem Ziel bei Katastrophen zu helfen – ähnlich wie das Telekom-Projekt hierzulande. Später soll daraus aber auch ein kommerzielles Netz entstehen. Nur viel höher, aber auch viel tiefer als LEO-Konstellationen.

  9. Britten-Norman BN-2A Islander Designed as a simple, rugged air taxi, the Islander has been immensely successful, serving small communities in remote corners of the world. It was also a favourite of parachute/skydiving clubs. Indeed, this example (built in 1977) was utilised in this role in both Germany and Scotland. Donated to the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune, Scotland by Cormack Aircraft Services Ltd, it has been painted to represent an Islander of the Scottish Ambulance Service #aircraft #BrittenNorman #Islander #ScottishAmbulanceService #airambulance #BN2 #aviation #avgeeks #airtaxi #NationalMuseumofFlight #EastFortune #Scotland #skydiving #parachutists #CormackAircraftServices
