TwinOtterSpotter exists, and continues to be published with the support of companies who advertise on these pages and e-mails, and donations from readers. It isn't really a business, just something that started as an idea to go along with my longtime interest in the DHC-6. It does however take a considerable amount of time and effort to put together. Your continuing support through either advertising or direct donation is essential, and much needed.
