Dustyone–

They’re not in a digital format (yet) but I do have a few shots of the mortal remains of the one-off Proctor 6, CF-EHF, when it was here in the Hamilton area about twenty years ago. Drop me a line and I’ll get them scanned to CD and email them to you if you like. The Proctor remains are apparently still held by the Wings Of Flight collection in Markham, Ontario.

That’s a fascinating snap of the “Proctuka” BTW…I think it’s the first shot I’ve seen showing the thing in the air…so it really could and did fly!

…and one from the Battle of Britain film in 1968 and thankfully not in the final cut.

Proctors et al

Kind sole? … Gulls, Petrels … sounds a bit fishy to me.
