I'm in Martin's corner and I am definitely standing up again for him here. Yes, he was a good pilot - but human so not absolutely infallible, but very careful and correct. He was professional,...

Yeah... I'd thought of a twin otter but its only just resurrected from the ashes, with what is in effect a new company. Two engines make it quite a bit more expensive than its nearest rival with...
