Percival Proctors
I am new to this site but not new to vintage aviation, I worked on percival airframes many years ago, but never had the chance to fly in one.
Is there a kind owner who would help me get up in one please?
Also is there anyone in the CO15 post code area who would be so kind as to offer me a ride in any right hand seat please
love to hear
Dusty

Dusty.. I don't know if there are any Proctors currently flying. However, there is one currently registered to somebody on your doorstep. Follow this link: http://www.caa.co.uk/application.asp...pplicationid=1
Now type in "Proctor" in the "Aircraft type or name" box. Click the first registration to appear...
(That link doesn't work for me so you may have to copy and paet it).
Good luck....

Proctor/87
Good to see the upainted 'JU 87', she was to be used in the 1984 film 'The Battle of Btitain' but was not stressed for the dive angles needed therefore radio-controlled models were used,--- anymore Proctor pics. out there ????

I think 'IWA was the silver RAF-schemed Proctor that came to grief at La Ferte Alais in the '80s... I'm sure the wreck was still dumped there when I visited in 1987.
