	Short Skyvan Bush Plane
		The Skyvan was made by Short Brothers of Belfast, Ireland and it was the same Short Brothers as the famous British flying boats of World War Two.
		While not the short field performer that the Twin Otter is, the 330 Skyvan was quite a decent STOL performer is its own right, and it could carry up to 30 passengers.
		The final version of the Skyvan series was the 360 model which featured a single vertical fin and rudder as opposed to the “H” tail arrangement on the 330.

		Shorts was the first true aviation company in the world, and was a manufacturer of flying boats during the 1920's & 30's and throughout the Second World War.
		A Short Empire was used by BOAC for the first westbound transatlantic service from Foynes, Ireland to Newfoundland on 5 July 1937.
		In the 1970s Shorts entered the feederliner market with their Shorts 330, a stretched modification of the Skyvan, called the C-23 Sherpa in USAF service, and another stretch resulted in the more streamlined Shorts 360, in which a more conventional central fin superseded the older H-profiled twin fins.

		Shorts also designed and built many experimental aircraft - of which little is written - if they, like all the other brit airplane manufacturers, had asked the airlines / military - what they wanted built, then they could have sold large quantities like boeing who just built their 5000 b.737!
		The father wasn't called Short, as he was a cousin to the family, but the mother was a genuine Short.
		The Shorts were nice, solid people, not stuck-up, not hesitating to come down to 'worker-level', treating common people as equals.

		Probably too late to catch you, but the Skyvan was a modified version of a Miles project development of the Aerovan theme, sold by Miles to Shorts

		Like Skyvans, Chetaks were suited to operations to and from high-altitude runways, while rugged Skyvans proved also particularly valuable due to their short-take off and landing (STOL) performance.
		For example, out of three Skyvans, only one remains operational, and one of SA.330 Pumas is not operational any more, but their serials indicate that additional examples were delivered in the meantime.
		Remaining Skyvan was meanwhile replaced by two PZL M28.05 Skytrucks (both are camouflaged in dark green; see bellow for details about their serials), delivered in 2002.

		In a separate interview with the Airforce Commander AVM EA Mantey, he said the Skyvans were bought about 32 years ago until they were grounded by the Air Force some years back because of “uneconomical maintainable cost” and also the fact that they had become old and were breaking down frequently.
		He added that spare parts for the Skyvans were hard to come by due to budgetary constraints.

	Flying the Skyvan by Larry Miller
		So I packed up my bags and moved back to Fairbanks and flew two trips most everyday to the north slope and landed on frozen lakes with food, mail, dynamite, blasting caps, drill pipe, people, and everything else that they needed for the winter of '74.
		When that contract was over in April '75, we went back to Anchorage for a month and then got a contract to fly paracargo out of Fort Wainright for the BLM during the fire season of '75(which was from the 1st of June till the 1st of September).
		We had three Skyvans and five Pilatus Porters and several smaller planes, 185's, 180's, Navajo's, Aztec's, Seneca's, and various other small ones.
