Background
The BN-2, nicknamed the ‘Bongo’ down here in the antipodes, is a twin-engine piston-driven utility aircraft that was originally designed in the 1960s by company founders John Britten and Desmond Norman. The pair recognised rapid growth in the air transport sector and came up with a relatively simple model using a high-lift wing that prioritised maximum payload over both range and speed.
