but the other looks like the smaller/shorter C208 Caravan.

You mean, like the Malaysian police's airplane? You tell me. You posted the photo.

Anyway, photos of the Fuddy airplane are not hard to find, thanks to the plane-spotting hobby. Example:

Obviously, it was a Grand Caravan.

You can check out the differences between the Caravan and the Grand Caravan on cessna.com. And, if you've got an extra $2m lying around, why not put in an order? Gotta keep those folks in Wichita on the job, don't you know!

Yes, as captioned on the pictures I first posted.

I'm not sure how helpful it is to repeat what I've already said and you've said again, but we can go over it again, if you like. :)

The two different pictures of ditched airplanes could certainly be pictures of the same airplane. It's not clear enough to be easily determined.

At first glance, the picture in question looks like the shorter Caravan (count the windows on the shorter Caravan and the longer Grand Caravan), whereas Fuddy's airplane is clearly the longer Grand Caravan, as you've shown in your pics, links and comments.

Cheers

Just to muddy the waters:

To be honest, I believe this plane was de-registered and the number reissued to the Cessna 208.
