Ah the sweet sweet sound of the old Tri-lander. I grew up zooming around the islands on these things.... gotta be the most reliable aircraft around. Poor Aurigny pilots always seemed to be big chaps, with little room to spare up front! Great vid!
Would love a video from a Jetstream - but hey, Trislanders are real flying! I've been BlueIslands coming down into Bournemouth in a gale. WOW! What an experience! How I hate boring sterile Easyjet now and miss the opportunity to do these Channel Island hops
There used to be an Aurigny pilot who looked like he was about to have a cardiac arrest. Once took us from Dinard to Guernsey; 3 minutes after take off he trimmed the plane and started to read his newspaper, LOL.
Great planes, if you like wrecking your hearing, noisy as.
@4plates Not really, this plane is fairly easy to fly. You may not make a great landing, but hell you could crash land it. Just desend idle and land on a feild ^^
I went on one of the old ones years ago, still no co pilot? What if he drops dead at the yoke? I remember it was a bit like getting into the back of an old Austin Allegro.
ive worked for Aurigny before with the Trislanders. very very fun time :D

I remember one pilot had a fag in his mouth with the window open as we were flying to Guernesey :]
