I find the concept of a Trislander flying with only one engine fitted a teensy bit hard to believe...
In 1980/1981 there were a number of green Islanders/Trislanders stored at Southampton in one of the hangars. The Trislanders were incomplete as I recall and had construction numbers stencilled but no reg. They ended up at Homestead Municipal in Florida, where I saw them again three or four years later still in kit form!
