An old instructor once commented when walking by one of those on the ramp "Someone should tell them it flys better if they take it out of the box".

Take a shipping container, bolt some landing gear and wings on it, and you have a Shorts.

Great work horse and like the Britain Norman Islander will get into and out of places with a good payload a lot of other aircraft can't.    ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
