That is a Corsair C425 - with PT6's
They changed that to the TPE331's on the C441

I am biased - :wink: - and a great fan of the TPE's
B100 King air has same power plants

Thanks for that .....
That is quite a special aircraft
It is a Reims / Cessna 406 Caravan - built by Reims and only 99 were ever produced.

It is basically a 404 with PT6's - but as there are only 99 of them built - it is quite rare.
Often used by Coast Guard in various countries.

<That is a Corsair C425 - with PT6's>
<They changed that to the TPE331's on the C441>

They are also completely different airframes: C441 is larger, having a fuselage based on the 404 (I seem to remember), whilst the C425 is based on the C421 (Golden Eagle). I don't know why they ever changed the name from Corsair to Conquest I (or is it the other way around? Now I'm forgetting, myself, and I used to fly the first II in the country: John Winson had -KPB back in c.1981 to supplement the Commanders on the routes out west -- Aggeneys, Alexander Bay, Lime Acres, Copperton, etc)

I may be wrong; but I seem to remember that that C402 -RGR was one of the Rennies' aircraft, many moons ago?
