EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Partenavia P.68B Victor G-BFST (msn 30), a stunning example of Italian aviation engineering, as it gracefully sits on the tarmac at Booker Airfield in High Wycombe during the mid-1970s. The Partenavia Victor, a versatile aircraft designed by Partenavia, an Italian aircraft manufacturer, was popular among private pilots and flying clubs due to its affordability and versatility. With its sleek design and distinctive orange and white color scheme, the Partenavia Victor G-BFST exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The aircraft's fixed tricycle landing gear and T-tail configuration provide excellent stability and maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for short-range flights and training purposes. The Partenavia Victor was powered by a 180 hp Lycoming IO-360-A1A engine, which delivered impressive performance and fuel efficiency. The aircraft could reach cruising speeds of up to 135 mph and had a range of approximately 800 miles, making it a reliable and capable companion for cross-country flights. The photograph captures a moment in time when aviation was on the cusp of a new era. The Partenavia Victor represented the best of Italian design and engineering, and its presence at Booker Airfield in High Wycombe was a testament to the enduring appeal of general aviation. Today, the Partenavia Victor remains a beloved classic among aviation enthusiasts, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of aircraft that have graced the skies over the years."
