Dear all
I have a part of a canopy which I would like to get an ID on. It came from a dump at Rochford, but I am not convinved its from a warbird.
It has PAC stamped on it at various points. Is this Percival Aircraft company or Parnall? There are groups of rollers on the upper and bottom surfaces so presumably it slides back and forth…..
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks folks – that looks like a good match. I had looked at another prentice pic but must have been at a funny angle beacuse it didn’t really look right!
Jagx 204 .Once the owner checks the size out – agreed. That was my only reservation.

I would say Prentice too looking at the link below.

Elliot, my guess is its from a Prentice, PAC was a Percival con number prefix, and there where lots of Prentices at Rochford in the 50’s. The orange glazing is also a feature of Prentice canopies.
