Happy Pass....yes it is a Geronimo conversion...but of which PA-23 model.
Sorry you may think I am being pedantic, but the PA-23 name covered more than one model in Piper's range.

RR and HP
Well the name I was looking for was PA-23 Apache Geronimo! They were converted from various Apache's including the PA-23-150's, 160's and 180's.
Not sure who to give it to, RR came up with PA-23, HP came up with Geronimo!
I think it's fair that you decide between you

I think this one should be awarded to RR, my contribution has been minimal.
Plus, I 'm always a bit reluctant to give a stab at a challenge when someone's already on the right track, so I would have been at least a little bit sorry if you had given it to me.
