Just recently bought the Flight1 BN Islander, what a fantastic plane it is. One of the liveries is of G-BOMG. My everyday job involves training Rapid Response Ambulance drivers high speed driving skills. The drivers operate nationwide on organ transplant work, they move patients, surgical teams and organs, often to meet timescales we have to use aircraft. I was curious then to see that G-BOMG in BA colours has the crest of the Scottish Ambulance Service on it. Further research showed that it was operated by Loganair and also used as an Air Ambulance. G-BOMG was lost in 2005 while carrying out an ambulance mission, unlike the recent Citation crash at Birmingham Airport where the crew survied G-BOMG's pilot and a paramedic tragically lost their lives. A full report can be viewed on the AAIB site by following the link below.http://www.aaib.gov....006__g_bomg.cfmOn another note the Figh1 Islander with its quirky autopilot and GPS is a dream to fly, certainly a plane I can reccomend to others.

Les, thanks for the link. What a sad fate for the plane, and more importantly, such a tragic loss of the pilot and medic.RegardsSteve
