EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and stylish Piper PA-24-260 Commanche, registration G-ATNV (msn 24-4350), parked gracefully at Bristol-Lulsgate Airport around 1967. The Piper Commanche, a versatile and high-performance single-engine aircraft, was a popular choice among private pilots during the late 1960s. With its distinctive twin booms and tailless design, the Commanche offered exceptional stability and maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for both short-range business travel and personal flying. The aircraft's streamlined design and modern features, such as retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, were considered advanced for the time. The Commanche's powerful engine, a Lycoming IO-520-B1A six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine, provided ample power for its size, enabling it to cruise at speeds of up to 170 mph. In this photograph, we see G-ATNV, which was owned by a private individual during the late 1960s, resting peacefully on the tarmac at Bristol-Lulsgate Airport. The airport, located in the United Kingdom, was a popular destination for private aviation during this era, offering pilots and their passengers convenient access to the region's business centers and recreational destinations. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in aviation history. The Piper Commanche, with its timeless design and impressive capabilities, continues to be a beloved aircraft among aviation enthusiasts and private pilots to this day.
