EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Luton LA.4 Minor G-ARXP, a vintage aircraft registered with the Civil Aviation Authority under the number G-ARXP and bearing manufacturing serial numbers PAL/1119 and PFA/816. The image, taken circa 1965, captures the aircraft in its prime, before its re-engining with a Walter Mikron III engine in 1968. The Luton LA.4 Minor was a British two-seat, low-wing, single-engine monoplane, designed and built by the Luton Aircraft Company in Bedfordshire, England. This particular aircraft, G-ARXP, was one of the many examples produced between 1939 and 1947. The Minor was a popular choice among private pilots and flying clubs due to its affordability and ease of handling. The aircraft's sleek design and compact size made it an ideal trainer and touring aircraft. In its original form, it was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, but as seen in this photograph, G-ARXP had been upgraded with the more powerful Walter Mikron III engine, enhancing its performance and capabilities. The image of G-ARXP, taken against a clear blue sky, highlights its distinctive features, including its rounded wings, streamlined fuselage, and fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The aircraft's red and white paint scheme adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, making it a true gem among the aviation community during the mid-1960s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage aircraft and the passion that continues to surround them. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era of aviation history, a time when flying was an adventure and the open skies were a playground for the brave and the curious.
