A couple of nice photographs from Port Vila, Vanuatu taken earlier this year.
Immediately below is Series 400 N153QS, which positioned to the South Pacific in Sep-2013. Through mid-2014 the aircraft was noted regularly in Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji, and some three weeks after the picture below was taken, it departed back to Nadi, Fiji.

Air Vanuatu's latest Twin Otter was acquired via Aviation Management Sales in Florida, and was delivered in Oct-2013. It still carries the paint scheme that was applied in Carrollton, GA for Bald Mountain Air Services of Alaska.
