I am trying to piece together this history of Aztec G-ARBR. What I have so far is that is was delivered to Baker Perkins Ltd in December 1960 and operated from Westwood airfield, the former RAF Peterborough, just near their factory. It was withdrawn in 1966 and became F-BOES. I have seen a photograph of it as such taken in 1972 at Plymouth.
I first saw it at Kidlington in November 1960, presumably just before it was delivered to BP. It was in a red colour scheme, with “Baker Perkins” on the side. I am told that it was repainted blue in 1962, with their company “pregnant golfball” logo on the fin.
I presume it was new in late 1960, and I heard that it was broken up in Tarbes in 1987.
Can anyone confirm these points?
I have several photos of it if anyone is interested. Thanks friends.

Yes, I know that one and am in contact with them. I want to take it a bit further if I can. Thanks anyway.
