When I was due to start work on the IoW late last year it did occur to me whether anyone did, had or could operate a passenger air service to the Island to avoid crossing by water.

During its crash it collided with 'PT and 'PI, the results of which can be seen here: http://www.myaviation.net/search/photo_search.php?id=...
