Capitalizing on the Islanders exceptional low speed handling
characteristics, the Defender 4000's extended endurance,
increased payload, low noise signature and economical operating
costs are proving to be ideally suited to Urban Surveillance and
Counter-Terrorism operations.
Recognising the need to focus on support of the
military variant of the Defender 4000, in early 2007
Britten-Norman formed a new MRO subsidiary - BN Defence Limited.
Located in a dedicated facility within the air park at the
former RAF station at St Athan in South Wales, BN Defence
provides full maintenance support services for the military
variants of the Defender 4000 (D4K) and UK military variants of the Islander.
From 2009/10 the company will provide MRO and upgrade facilities for a variety of other in service
aircraft. |
