This one

Shorts 360-300 reg S7-PAL named "Ile de Palme"
Air Seychelles has three Shorts 360.
Equipped with PWC PT6A-67R engines and a Y20 seat lay-out.
Before I get comments I want to say that I made a mistake with the name of the airline

I wrote "Aer" instead of "Air"

But I thought it was better to let it stay that way instead of correcting it.
It would make a bad result on the drawing being it already colored.
