According to Wiki, Trislanders are still used in Anguilla, Guyana and Puerto Rico
I happened to visit the Farnborough Airshow on 11 Sep 1970; this was before I was a controller there and was still an assistant at London ATCC West Drayton.
Wandering about, before the air display, we heard the sound of Lycomings approaching; now in those days there was strictly no flying prior to the display so this was unusual then we saw the aircraft which looked similar to an Islander but different; the fuselage looked longer and there was an odd 'lump' halfway up the fin. When the aircraft turned final, we could see it was Islander shaped.
Apparently Des Norman had first flown the Trislander that morning then brought it straight to Farnborough for static display
Try googling 'Mainlander' to see further proposals from BN.
