Depending on whether or not this post is transferred to Nostalgia, we shall on this page have a record of the three aircraft, spanning four decades, which have served on Brecqhou Island.

The current Barclaycraft (atop), the first Barlclaycraft (G-BVNH above) and Leonard Matchan's Gazelle (below):

The ensign carried on BBHU's tail was a device designed by Leonard Matchan which is essentially the flag of Sark Island with Matchan's Coat of Arms appended to one of the quarters (below).


The personal ensign (or standard) used by Leonard Matchan and which became a defacto 'Brecqhou Island flag' during his tenure of the isle

There is a contemporary flag available, following Matchan's example, where his Arms have been replaced by those of the Barclay brothers.

Approximate periods that the cited aircraft have served the isle:

G-BBHU from 1974-1985

G-BVNH from 1994-1998

G-BYDF from 1998 to date
