The aircraft
G-BBZH
Is a Piper PA 28-200R Series 11 Arrow built in 1973. The aircraft is based at North Weald

The aircraft was bought by the present owner in February 2008 and has had a lot of renovation work done over the past 2 years. The aircraft has never been used as a training aircraft.

The Arrow is acknowledged to be a very capable four-seater tourer and the combination of a 200HP engine, a variable pitch propeller and retractable undercarriage provide speed and efficiency. This is a properly equipped and reliable IFR equipped touring aeroplane
