  Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer CCII airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums
Known as the 'Twin Pin', the Twin Pioneer was a follow-up to the same company's single-engined short take-off and landing (STOL) transport, the Pioneer, and like the latter required an area only 30m (99ft) by 275m (902ft) in which to operate.
The Twin Pioneer was initially designed as a 16-passenger civil transport aircraft and first flew in June 1955.
STOL characteristics and suitability for operations in tropical conditions were also demonstrated by aircraft based in Singapore (during the Borneo Campaign in the 1960s), in Bahrain (during the 1961 Kuwaiti crisis) and in Kenya (on internal security duties in the mid-1960s).

 Twin Pioneer History
Preliminary design work for the Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer series of aircraft commenced in 1953, the catalyst of its conception being an express requirement for a STOL (short take off and landing) capable general purpose short-haul aircraft to suit both civil and military applications.
Further examples of the Twin Pin were imported and in variance to “BHJ” and “AIS”, these Series 3 machines (four of) were second-hand and moreover, ex military.
Parallelling this is the procurement of specialised equipment and the establishment of the infrastructure to effect in-house maintenance on the aircraft.
