EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Piper PA-30 Twin Commanche G-AXER (msn 30-1820) is seen gracefully parked at Wycombe Air Park. This particular aircraft holds a rich history, as it was once registered in Eire as EI-ANU in December 1969, in preparation for the London-Sydney Air Race. The Kerrygold dairy products livery adorning the plane, along with the race number 69, reflects its participation in this historic event. The London-Sydney Air Race, which took place from December 18, 1969, to January 4, 1970, attracted a field of 63 participants. G-AXER, flown by T. Phillips and V. R. Mitchell, finished an impressive fourth place overall and a commendable second place in Class B, for twin-engined aircraft. Upon returning to the UK in 1970, the aircraft reverted back to its original registration, G-AXER. This photograph is a testament to the aeronautical history of this Piper Twin Commanche, showcasing its involvement in this iconic race and its journey through the annals of aviation transportation.
