Short Skyvan (G-BEOL)

Great photo and panning. Those shorts are so ugly they are cool!

Thanks Kevin. 'Attractive by ugliness'

They look best in military paint, nice shot!

May be you even like this one? http://nl.flightaware.com/photos/view/329173-9f76e79845e056ac9a1bfbb9b52da8d528096bc9/aircrafttype/SC7/sort/votes/page/1

An old colleague described the plane (the pax version of the Short) like this: It is Christmas and your dad made an airplane model for you out of a shoe box instead of buying a model)\. Your response is: "Dad, that does not even look like a real airplane!"

It is just a small work-horse! Thanks for all your reactions. I know our Dutch Marines use such an aircraft (Pinkskyvan) to train para-jumping somewere in Belgium.
