EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter VP-FBL (msn 839) of the British Antarctic Survey takes center stage at the Yeovilton International Air Day on the 12th of July, 1996. The Twin Otter, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was a popular attraction during the airshow, showcasing its unique capabilities and enduring appeal. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operated VP-FBL, with its distinctive red, white, and blue livery, was one of several aircraft in the BAS fleet that played a crucial role in supporting scientific research and logistical operations in the harsh and remote environments of the Antarctic. The DHC-6-300 Twin Otter, a model renowned for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, proved invaluable in transporting personnel and supplies to research stations and remote outposts. The Yeovilton International Air Day provided an excellent opportunity for the public to witness the Twin Otter's impressive performance firsthand. The aircraft's ability to operate from unpaved runways and short strips made it a perfect fit for the challenging conditions at Yeovilton Airbase. As the Twin Otter taxied onto the runway, the crowd was treated to a thrilling display of power and agility, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter and its role in supporting scientific research and exploration, particularly in the extreme environments of the Antarctic. The British Antarctic Survey's VP-FBL, with its distinctive livery and impressive capabilities, continues to be a symbol of human ingenuity and determination in the face of adversity.
