Welcome to the Scilly Isles! This was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in the last year. I loved the place and I will definitely be back using the helicopter in future! It's not cheap to get to but my word, Scilly is remarkable.

I am from Canada and grew up in the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean, so I've flown the Twin Otter many times in both countries, from island hopping to the artic. I had a relative who worked on the original aircraft. It's a fantastic utility plane and I've never felt safer on such a versatile rugged aircraft in such conditions. It's reliable. I get its smaller than people are used to, but it's very safe and dependable.

I went to the Scilly Islands in 1982 by helicopter. But one day later, this same helicopter crashed into the sea and all dead (it did not float as they said it should)- Of course, when I returned some 10 days later to Penzance, I took the Ferry. Used the camping all these days which was very good and visited all islands and the famous lighthouse too, when it was still inhabited. Very good: the Tresco Gardens. You will need the whole day. Thanks for the video.

Well, it's a utility plane built for versatility and reliability on relatively short flights. It is a pet peeve when some travellers expect every plane to be Emirates first class and the comfiest planes. I don't love when people judge planes based on comfort rather than performance, efficiency, safety, engineering, the things that matter. That's also why I get pissed when people constantly bash the CRJ-200. Sure, the CRJ-200's not comfortable, but that doesn't mean its a bad aircraft! It's made for regional travel!

Paul, loved the video, as I’m watching now on the Isles of Scilly. The bit you missed (for all av geeks) is that you can walk across the runway on St Marys. A light and siren warn you of approaching aircraft. It’s always fun to be there when there is an arrival! Flown the Twin Otter a few times, but the old and now new helicopter are another experience agin (plus extra 5kg luggage allowance).

Loved the video, finally got to see the Isles of Scilly. Packed in a little plane going to and from it. From what i could see those isles are beautiful! Detail: did you know the Netherlands were for 335 years (1651 - 1986) at war with the Isles of Scilly? I didn't until a couple of months ago! Luckily not a single shot was ever fired and nobody died because of this war. It was the longest war ever. BTW it seems the inhabitants don't like to be called the Scilly Isles but like to hear the Isles of Scilly. Probably because Scilly sounds as silly. Thank you for uploading this video!

Did this trip last year and an absolute pleasure to fly so easily. You can take your dog too and save a lot of time versus going by the boat particularly if it's a short stay on the Island or day trip. The MV Scillonian is a flat bottomed boat so it can rest in Harbour at low tide so is more prone to lurching or rolling in a swell.

And it saves 2.5 hours on a bumpy ferry !!

Definitely recommend you try the helicopter next time, its a unique experience.

I have many hours onboard the DHT. It was the lifeline from the trunk routes airports in Norway to the «Chicken fields» as the airports with a 800-meter runway was called because the minister of transport (1965-1969) name directly translates to that. Once I was so lucky to have the airplane to myself! In oct 2003 it was game over for the DHT in Norway. I flew SK MD-80 OSL-TOS-KKN. Then the WF DHT KKN-BJF-ALF. The last leg was SK on the Mad Dog ALF-TOS-OSL. It was done in about 10 hours I think. The first time I flew the DHT was summer of 1978 it was from HFT-ALF-SOJ-TOS. I was 8. The weather was CAVOK!

I did the trip on an Islander a few years ago - we were all weighed to ensure an evenly distributed load. If you go back to St Mary's, do the walk round the coast, which you can comfortably do in a day. The path will take you across the bottom of the airport runway, but you must obey the signals and not cross when a plane is landing or taking off 🙂. The isles of Scilly are very beautiful and well worth a visit but beware, going and staying there is not cheap but it is worthwhile.

Unfortunately its not just the getting there that is expensive. Tresco arguably the nicest of the islands had its main hotel closed and these days the only real choice is expensive time share cottages that are in big demand. The main island St Marys is a liitle easier, but still not cheap. If you are looking for rugged remoteness Hells Bay hotel on Bryher is worth looking at.

The Otter is a great little aircraft. Tried and true. Both the land version seen here, and the float version,both seen in all the oddest corners of the world.
