EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the timeless beauty of a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer airplane, specifically G-ARGX (msn 22-7616), as it sits proudly outside the clubhouse at Newcastle Airport on May 21, 1961. The Tri-Pacer, a model of the PA-22 series produced by Piper Aircraft, was a popular choice among private pilots during the 1950s and 60s for its versatility and efficiency. G-ARGX, with its distinctive tri-gear configuration, was operated by Oxford Aviation, a flying club based in the United Kingdom. The image showcases the aircraft's sleek design, with its bright orange and white paint job contrasting against the lush green grass and blue sky in the background. The clubhouse, a quintessential part of any general aviation airport, adds to the idyllic scene, further emphasizing the sense of community and camaraderie among aviation enthusiasts. The Tri-Pacer's tail number, G-ARGX, can be seen clearly on the vertical stabilizer, along with the msn (manufacturer's serial number) 22-7616. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of aviation history, when flying was a more leisurely pursuit, and the joy of flight was the primary motivation for taking to the skies. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of general aviation and the simple pleasure of owning and flying a classic aircraft like the Piper Tri-Pacer.
