Thanks, "bob", and thanks to everybody. Trying to get a 100% ID on
those fuzzy blobs is, I reckon, nigh on impossible. Given the fact
the pix was taken at Corfe Castle would lend credence to bob's
suggestion they were Britten Norman Islanders, that location being
just along the coast from the BN base at Bembridge on the Isle of
Wight.

Again, thanks all.

It would have been a special occasion then - for both prototypes to be
flying together at the same location.


Quoting from the omniscient Wikipedia ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britten-Norman_Islander

"Design of the Islander started in 1963 and the first prototype BN-2 first
flew on 13 June 1965, with the second prototype on 20 August 1966. Both of
these had engines that were less powerful than the production versions. The
first production Islander first flew on 24 April 1967."
