The Islander, a versatile and agile short-range transport aircraft, was manufactured by Britten-Norman, a renowned British aerospace company.

The event showcases a diverse range of aircraft, from historic warplanes to the latest military and civilian aircraft. The inclusion of the Armed Forces of Malta Air Wing's Britten-Norman BN-2B-26 Islander AS9516 in the show highlighted the versatility and global reach of this remarkable aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Britten-Norman Islander and the Armed Forces of Malta Air Wing's commitment to maintaining a modern and capable fleet.
