EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in February 1972, showcases the sleek and elegant Piper PA-23-250 Aztec aircraft with the registration number G-AREF (msn 27-285) at Blackpool-Squires Gate Airport. The Aztec, a popular six-seat twin-engine utility aircraft, was manufactured by Piper Aircraft Corporation between 1961 and 1978. The image captures the aircraft in its prime, with its distinctive orange and white paint scheme gleaming under the winter sun. The Aztec's twin engines, mounted on the wings, are visible, adding to the aircraft's powerful and robust appearance. The propellers are in motion, suggesting that the aircraft is about to take off or has just landed, adding to the sense of excitement and adventure. The Blackpool-Squires Gate Airport, located in the coastal town of Blackpool, Lancashire, England, served as a hub for both private and general aviation. The airport's unique setting, with the Irish Sea in the background, adds to the scenic beauty of the photograph. The Piper Aztec was a versatile aircraft, used for various purposes, including personal transportation, business travel, and even air ambulance services. Its ability to fly in adverse weather conditions and its relatively short takeoff and landing requirements made it a popular choice for pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, which showcases a wide range of aviation history through stunning images. The collection provides a unique insight into the world of aviation and the evolution of aircraft design and technology over the years.
