Skybus De Havilland DHC-6-300 Twin Otter G-ISSG in the circuit at Cornwall Airport Newquay. 5300_DSC_2106CE

The title is a little tongue in cheek as you might well expect at least some of these aircraft at San Juan - it is a long way from, say, Gatwick. The picture features InterCaribbean Airways DHC-6-300 Twin Otter VQ-THG. Behind HG is LIAT ATR 42-600 V2-LID and, to the left, a Regional Jet which I was not quick enough to identify.

Skybus Britten-Norman BN-2B Islander G-SSKY at Lands End with De Havilland DHC-6-300 Twin Otter G-CEWM. The Britten-Norman Islander, one of my favourite aircraft, is well represented at Lands End where Isles of Scilly Skybus operates four of the type. My first visit in just over three years allowed me to see the asphalt runways, completed in July 2014, in operation and observe three of the Islanders in their smart livery which has changed since that last visit. 200_3_P1010972CE

As is often the case with my photographs, there is a story behind a composition I would not normally choose. I was at San Juan (SJU) and had waited for loading and clearance of ground equipment around Seaborne Airlines Twin Otter N251SA to get the shot I wanted. Then the American Airlines B737-800 N968AN arrived operating AAL1341 from Miami and would park on stand 15 completely obscuring the other aircraft. This then is the compromise. The other aircraft just in view is a Seaborne Saab 340. 200_P1010809C
