About the Club

The Club was founded in 1984 at Sywell Aerodrome by Tony Whitlock, Colin Stearn and Robin Norton. It has since developed into the supporting body for all owners, pilots and enthusiasts of vintage Piper aircraft, with well over 300 active members.

In recent years, owners of classic US types other than Pipers have gravitated towards the VPAC and we welcome anyone flying a vintage or classic machine to join our ranks.

OBJECTIVES
1. To promote and encourage the restoration, operation and enjoyment of vintage Piper aircraft.
2. To organise fly-ins where the owners, pilots and other enthusiasts of vintage Piper aircraft can meet.
3. To provide information on the location of spare parts and of those organisations and individuals who will repair, restore or inspect vintage Piper aircraft.
4. To provide a forum for the exchange of advice and information on vintage Piper aircraft and related subjects.
