Percival Provost T1 Restoration

Hi, does anybody have access to any original Percival Provost T1 Electrical wiring diagrams, or system schematics?
I’ve been invited to help out with the restoration of a T1 but the new owner doesn’t have any of the aircraft diagrams.  Currently it is disassembled (wings off, cockpit partially stripped).. what I am hoping for is anything that can help get it back together.

Thank you all for the leads, currently working my way through them.

I think you’ll find that a majority of well know aircraft restorers will have a library of reference AP’s etc and would be worth a try.

Maybe John Bradshaw if he is still around, he still has a piston Provost registered to him in the Reading area. He is the guy who had G-CBEL, the Sea Fury,

I believe that his surname is House, rather than Howse.

Good suggestion but I believe Alan sold all his provosts and spares.

I would suggest Paul Childs at Middlezoy Aerodrome who may well be able to help.

His contact details are on their web site.

Try Alan Howse at Brimpton Airfield.  He is,  or used to be,  the maestro of all things Percival and Provost.  I don’t have any specific contact details other than those mentioned.  Pooley’s will assist.
