Default RE: What was it?
Just do a search on the web for 'Short Skyvan 3"...

There's lots of info/pics on this 'ugly duckling" that many find so appealing - including me. Some of the paint schemes are pretty interesting.

Cambria Model Aircraft (in Wales, UK) came out with a kit for this stubby-nosed twin engined high-wing transport some years ago (mid 1980's) that has an 8' wingspan and is powered by 2-.40 2-strokes or 2- .46-.53 4-strokes. I was very fortunate to obtain one of these no-longer-made all balsa kits, Unfortunately, it's still in it's box due to other life priorities over the years. As far as I know, Cambria is no longer in business.

You can find the AIRFIX small plastic model of this plane on eBay.

There's one of these aircraft in Deland, Florida, about 20 miles from me, that is used by a skydiving business.
