I suspect this was the trip that I did in the BN2 (G-BDWG) as we unloaded at Northern Executive and you've jogged my memory with the Sporting Chronicle as that was, indeed, the cargo we carried. I don't remember an Aztec ever doing the flight but that's not to say it didn't. I'm not sufficiently confident of my memory of the Luton days.
