Description: on September 27 1989 the airframe moved on to Walphot, here seen such in an updated livery with their titles and logo in the tail (see also upper left inset). Walphot itself stood for Société Wallonne de Photogrammétrie, also a remote sensing company established on August 1 1972 and equally based at Amougies airfield. On July 1 1991 a joint venture was created between Eurosense-Belfotop and Walphot on which this aircraft was on regular base swapped between them. On July 27 2000 its new base became Antwerp airport. The joint venture between both companies ceased on August 1 2002 but they kept operating independent with the Islander remaining with Walphot. On December 4 2003 it left Antwerp airport bound for Canada were it was sold being cancelled from the register on December 18 of the same year. It became on January 7 2004 "C-FJJR" of Strait Air which had a fatal accident five years later.
