Surely I'm not the only one on here?
Maybe we should open it up to any and all Percivals

Not a great quality shot taken from a Southend Museum newsletter. Proctor NP339 / G-AOBW. It looks like the picture was taken beside the railway near the end of the main runway so this must have been taken during the early days of the British Historic Aircraft Museum at Southend around 1968 and was probably soon after the Proctor was cleaned up and painted. After the Historic Aircraft Museum took over the wings of NP339 were fitted to NP303 / G-ANZJ which went on display in tthe museum. The fuselage of NP339 was cut in half and the rear section was sectioned to show the structure and used a a travelling exhibit until eventually the glue rot got so bad it fell to bits. We burned the front half as it was rotten and no one wanted it. .

Just loved the pictures of the New Zealand Proctors.
Can anyone find me pictures of any of these Proctors.....VP-KEW, -KGB, -KGC or -KGJ ? Any help will be most welcome.

Yes, well technically ZK-DPP is registered as a Proctor 1 (ex P6271 G-AHTV VH-BCX) but it has been rebuilt as a Gull Six to resemble as close as possible Jean Batten's Gull Six G-ADPR (which was re-registered as ZK-DPR for one single flight in New Zealand in 1996). Hence the registration as ZK-DPP.

I found this one lurking in a recently acquired negative collection.
It looks interesting. Who has the story?

The Hudson's Bay Company's one-off Proctor 6 floatplane CF-EHF, flown in the UK prior to delivery in mid-1946 as X-1.
This aircraft was discussed in another thread here some time ago.

I used to have a lovely photo of a derelict Proctor in RAF markings which I was told was taken at the gate of Croft airfield around 1950. Any one know anything about it?
I also had a photo of G-AKLD/NP276 on the bonfire for Guy Fawkes night at Woolsington taken 1 Nov 1957 but that too went walkabout (together with a piece of the fabric showing the RAF markings beneath the flaking civil markings - silver with red trim). This aircraft just appeared there one day, from whence I do not know.
Any info about either of these two aircraft would be welcome,
Jim

As a keen enthusists for things Percival and in particular for things Proctor Mk1,2,3 (and sort of also IV and V) I am keen to see what old photos people have of Percival Proctor aeroplanes.
It might interest people to know that there are a number of active rebuild projects for Proctors in the UK and in Australia. I know of Mk1, Mk3 and Mk5 projects underway.
cheers
