EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at Sywell Airfield on the 15th of April, 1962, showcases a Piper PA-23 Aztec B with the registration number G-ARXF and manufacturing serial number 27-2015. The Aztec B, a popular six-seat twin-engine aircraft produced by Piper Aircraft Corporation, is seen gracefully parked on the tarmac amidst the bustling atmosphere of a Shackleton sales weekend. The PA-23 Aztec, a versatile and efficient aircraft, was known for its robust design and excellent performance. Powered by two Lycoming IO-520 engines, it boasted a cruising speed of around 150 mph and a range of over 1,200 miles, making it an ideal choice for long-distance flights and short-haul transport. The Shackleton sales weekend at Sywell was an event that attracted aviation enthusiasts and potential buyers from across the region. The weekend offered an opportunity to inspect various aircraft models, engage with industry experts, and even take test flights. The presence of the sleek and stylish Piper PA-23 Aztec B, with its distinctive twin tail and streamlined design, would have undoubtedly drawn a crowd. As the sun casts a warm glow over the airfield, the Aztec B stands proudly, a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the spirit of aviation. This evocative image, captured over six decades ago, transports us back to a time when the skies were a more romantic and adventurous place, and the thrill of aviation was a shared passion among all who dared to dream.
