    Thank you so much for this. As a Canadian, the Twin Otter brings a lot of pride. The first production was 1965 -1988 by de Havilland at its design and production in Toronto. Initially, this lovely bird helped to connect remote places across Canada, helped to develop remote industries and to provide jobs and sustainability in places that could never be reached by road, rail or ferry. The Twin Otter is a workhorse and a genius of engineering. Other than modern avionics it is still the same thing and I'm certain the designers never dreamt it would someday ferry luxury holiday makers in the Maldives. Fun fact - an original production Twin Otter is actually worth more today than its purchase price some 45+ years ago.

    What’s amazing is just the fact of how difficult it was to build up all those little islands that are so far away from mainland civilization. No roads to transport all the building materials and supplies..everything had to come by boat or plane. Quite the undertaking I would imagine. Thanks for the wonderful video and I loved the music as well..

    My Wife and Myself planned to go to the Maldives in 2019 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary but Covid put paid to that. But we got to go in 2023 for our 54th, it was worth the wait especially the sea plane transfer, it’s noisy ( they give you ear plugs ) but it was the icing on the cake. We went to Reethi Beach Resort, it was everything we imagined and more. We went on the recommendation of our son Glen who’s been that many times he’s almost a local, ( he’s single that’s why he can afford it ) as it’s not a cheap holiday, but if you have the opportunity go, you won’t regret it, great for snorkelling too.

    "Mind your hair when fan is operating"...... Riding in prop planes in interesting locations seem to include unusual safety advice. This reminded me of a flight in Afghanistan operated by contractors. The pilot's safety briefing ended with "...keep your frags secure & don't shoot the fuckin' plane, ok..." Then off we went to Kandahar.
