This photograph showcases Piper Tomahawk G-DFLY (msn 38-79A0450), a cherished aircraft of the British Airways Flying Club based at Booker Airfield in High Wycombe during the late 1970s to early 1980s. The Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawk, registered to the renowned aviation organization, is seen in its pristine condition, embodying the essence of aviation's golden era. The Tomahawk, a versatile and popular trainer and touring aircraft, was manufactured by Piper Aircraft Corporation in the United States. This specific model, G-DFLY, was one of many Tomahawks that graced the skies under the British Airways Flying Club banner. The club, which was established in 1932, has been a cornerstone of British general aviation for nearly a century. Booker Airfield, located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was an ideal location for the British Airways Flying Club due to its proximity to London and its extensive facilities. The airfield, which opened in 1937, has been a hub for aviation enthusiasts and pilots alike, offering a range of services and opportunities for aviation enthusiasts. This photograph, taken circa 1980, captures the timeless beauty of the Piper Tomahawk G-DFLY as it sits proudly on the tarmac at Booker Airfield. The image transports us back to an era when aviation was a more romantic and adventurous pursuit, and the simple joy of flying was the ultimate goal. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of such evocative images that celebrate the rich history of aviation.
