Description: this factory fresh Piper was registered on May 17 1946 to Cogea, based at Keerbergen airfield. Later on November 30 1954 Cogea Nouvelle became the official owner. On June 22 1956 it migrated to Aéro-Club de la Haye-des-Chênes based at Dolembreux aérodrome. When this small airstrip was closed in 1958 it moved a year later to the Royal Antwerp Aviation Club (R.A.A.C.), namely on July 15 1959 and here seen such at its home base in a livery without titles but with a tiny 40th anniversary logo of the club on the tail. It left the club on June 7 1973 and was a month later on July 4 cancelled from the register going on September 7 of the same year to England as "G-BBHJ" of private owners Richard Vernon Miller and Rayton Howard Heath.
