That's a British plane built in North Ireland: a Shorts 330. Flew a lot on them between our little airport in Dutchess County NY and JFK when we were travelling to or from the USA. It was 2 hours (or 3) by car or airport limo or 30 minutes by air. When this thing arrived in JFK, it always seemed a miracle a 747 did'nt just roll over it.

It' s a sturdy plane it seems!
