This photograph showcases Piper Twin Comanche G-AZBD (msn 39-112), a classic twin-engine aircraft of the Piper PA-39 series, as it gracefully rests on the runway at Oxford-Kidlington Airport during the late 1970s. The Oxford Air Training School was the proud owner of this aviation gem, which boasts a distinctive red and white paint scheme adorned with the school's insignia. The Piper Twin Comanche, a popular choice for both private and commercial pilots due to its versatility and reliability, was manufactured between 1967 and 1982. With its twin engines, this aircraft offered enhanced safety and performance, making it an ideal training platform for aspiring pilots. G-AZBD, registered in the United Kingdom, was one of over 5,000 Twin Comanches produced during its production run. Its sleek design, powerful engines, and spacious cabin made it a favorite among pilots and students alike. The aircraft's ability to carry passengers and cargo made it a valuable asset to the Oxford Air Training School. This photograph, taken circa 1976, offers a glimpse into the past of aviation history. The Piper Twin Comanche, with its timeless design and enduring legacy, continues to be a cherished symbol of the golden age of aviation. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a testament to the rich history of flight and the enduring allure of aircraft like the Piper Twin Comanche.
