Percival P.56 Provost

Agent K – yeah, but I’ve never seen a photograph of the original scheme that’s based on.

Excellent work. Superb profiles! You must love the Piston Provost as much as I do. With a stash of old Matchbox and S&M Models Provosts, I’ve got lots of potential project ideas now.

Of course at Old Warden they fly an aircraft in those colours DaveF68

I’m currently trying to locate in service photographs of these two aircraft.

have you “in service” images i don’t use restoration schemes unless i am commissioned to, , Dave, i have not seen any whilst doing my research

Has anyone ever seen a photo of a pre-delivery (camouflaged) Omani Provost carrying RAF roundels? I remember Scale Aircraft Modelling doing a profile of one, but I’ve never seen a photo.

I have a couple of pictures yes. The ones of XF597 , ( G-BKFW ) have AH which is the initial of the former owner Alan House, it’s orginal marking was JM. The other is WW388 which served with 2 FTS and was coded Q F .

the only photo i found of the Iraq version, hence only one profile

i have not got either XF597 nor WW388, do you have photos of these? i would love to include them James.

nice pic! thanks

Slightly tangential but it was nice to see an Omani Percival Provost on a visit to Muscat, Oman and the armed forces museum a few weeks back.

Wow that’s a real gem, lovely art work there.

Wonderful profiles, have you XF597 , WW388 in your collection ?
Best wishes

CATCS Shawbury

ok, thank to the help i have recieved from here and Prune, here is the first CATCS aircraft, XF554 coded Z in 8″ striped dayglo bands.

you might want to change the colour of the stripes, they should be 8″ Dayglo, it is a orange not red, but apart from that its looking good
