EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we find the Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter HB-FBG making an appearance at the Paris Air Show in the mid-1960s. The Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter, a versatile short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, was designed for various roles, including military, paramilitary, and humanitarian missions. The aircraft in this image, however, is a Turbomeca Astazou-powered variant, which was not as popular as its piston-engine counterparts due to poor engine reliability. The Turbomeca Astazou was a French-designed turboprop engine that was intended to provide greater power and efficiency compared to piston engines. However, its unreliability hindered its widespread adoption, especially in the PC-6-A Turbo-Porter. Despite the challenges posed by the Turbomeca Astazou engine, the Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter continued to attract attention at the Paris Air Show due to its impressive capabilities. The aircraft's short takeoff and landing performance, combined with its ability to operate from unpaved runways and in harsh environments, made it an attractive option for various applications. The image captures the Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter HB-FBG in all its glory, showcasing its sleek design and distinctive features. The aircraft's high-wing configuration, T-tail, and large propeller can be clearly seen, as can the distinctive Turbomeca Astazou engines mounted on the wings. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating look at aviation history and the evolution of aircraft technology. In summary, this photograph of the Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter HB-FBG at the Paris Air Show in the mid-1960s offers a unique perspective on aviation history. While the Turbomeca Astazou-powered variant faced challenges, the PC-6-A Turbo-Porter continued to capture the imagination of aviation enthusiasts with its impressive capabilities and versatility.
