These are the last from Hullavington for now. Seven different variations of the Piper Cub family.

I saved the best till last. An immaculate Apache in original factory markings. I don't know the result but this wins the star of show award for me.

It looked a lot stranger when I first saw one back in the early 1960s. At the time we thought it was a gimmick that wouldn't catch on. Roll Eyes

G-ARKK is a Piper PA-22-108 Colt. The history of the "short-wing Cubs" is quite interesting. The PA-22 Tri-Pacer was basically the 4-seat PA-18 Pacer (like G-APXT) with a nosewheel. The Colt was a two-seat trainer version of the Tri-Pacer with a smaller engine. A lot of Colts & Tri-Pacers have since been converted back into taildraggers. G-ARNK is still registered as a Colt.

PS. The Short Wing Piper Club
