I am trying to find out what type of plane this is.  There is no indication of who produced the postcard, it may have just been a local photographer.

I have tried googling for information that will enable me to value the postcard.  I am hitting a dead end or two.

Is it a Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander ?

According to Google it is. Designed in the 60s and still being produced, apparently.

I will try using that in my search.  Someone donated hundreds of old postcards to Oxfam.  I am trying to sort through them so we can sell them online.

Thanks for your help.

Skybus regularly use BN Islanders from Cornwall to the Isles of Scilly on scheduled flights.  Before take off passengers are weighed and allocated seats to spread the weight across the plane.  An interesting flight and highly recommended especially when you get to sit next to the pilot.

BN made a 'Trislander' too with a third engine mounted in the rudder assembly, but it never took off (pardon the pun!), so they stuck with the 'Islander'.

From the Pixel Phone using Google Lens:
The image shows a Britten-Norman Islander, a British light utility aircraft.
The Islander was designed and originally manufactured by Britten-Norman in the United Kingdom. It is a twin-engine, high-wing, fixed-gear aircraft that can carry up to nine passengers plus a pilot and cargo. It is one of the best-selling commercial aircraft types produced in Europe and is still in production.
