G-BBTJ Piper Pa-23 250 Aztec at Haltham.<\/p>\n

I was driving from Coningsby to Horncastle and noticed a Piper Aztec parked in the old Marmion Arms Pub Car Park in the Village of Haltham.\u00a0 A quick U-turn to have a look turned out to be the old Cooper Surveys Aztec from Wickenby. Built in 1973 it had spent all it’s life registered\u00a0 in the UK. The new owner Jon used to work for Coopers and had\u00a0flown in this Aztec as\u00a0far as Africa doing survey work.<\/h5>\n
The Aztec has no engines in at the moment and the seats are removed but after a good clean on the outside it is starting to look like it’s old self, If Jon had not saved the Aztec it was due to be scrapped at Wickenby. This Aztec used to sit outside the Skunk works looking a very sad sight.<\/h5>\n
