BAS Otters

[spaceshiprepairman]

Are there any extant photos of BAS Otters in flying condition? I know there is a thread on a 1/72 BAS Otter, but I've a  Hobbycraft 1/48 Otter, and wanted to paint it in colors other than what the box art shows, and found the thought of a British Otter intriguing. While a diorama of VP-FAK in a mouldering pile would be a nice exercize of one's weathering abilities, but I'm more partial to a flyable one.

Not sure what's available on t'internet but have you tried writing to or emailing the BAS Air Unit at Cambridge? They should have some photos in the archives.

Hi Ken,

 

I think the OP was looking for photos of the DHC-3 Otter..... rather than the DHC-6 Twin Otters currently in use & a very different beastie!

 

However, if it is Twin Otters you're looking for, PM me..... I have lots of photos of them! 🐧

You mean like this? The flash makes it look a bit anaemic.
