Plentiful Percivals

Pembroke C Mk 52

Outside the Swedish Air Force Museum at Linköping, part of a larger photo of the whole line-up, taken in 2004.

Some cracking colour shots of the Prentice and Pembroke. Two types I would love to fly in. I was trying to wangle a Pembroke flight with 60 Sqn at Wildenrath but sadly it never materialised before they got rid of them

Yet another six for the collection.

Thanks for those TNZ. Of course anyone can add percivals to the thread. The more the better.

Aaah JP’s
Many thanks Glyn
Any more???

If this is a “add your Percival aircraft pic” thread then here’s mine.

Taken earlier this year at Wings Over Wairarapa Airshow here in NZ.

Some more Percivals but this time all are JPs. For those who are as pedantic as myself, I realise that T5s are correctly BAC and not Percival. However I like to keep all the JPs together so here they are! All these are from negatives I purchased and are not taken by me. There is a query with XS216 as my database shows this as having been SOC on 05/06/73 after a mid air collision. Although it landed safely there is no sign of damage in the photo.

Thanks for the photos !
I love percivals, especially the ones in civil Colours 🙂

Thanks Glyn & Atlantic1, as a Luton lad I’ve developed a softspot for Percivals so great photos.

Steve.

PS. I’m booked to fly on the Prentice on April 1st, now all we need is for atlantics Pembroke to get an Air Transport Cof A!

Tom,

Many thanks for your contribution, the quality is absolutely great. It is nice to see these old ladies still flying.

Glyn

Very nice. The JP was taken at Benson on Battle of Britain day (I fogetw which year off hand), and the Steam Provost was at Abingdon’s display in 1963 – I was probably standing next to whoever took the photo!

Forgot to mention, Superb stuff Glyn. More Percivals please ?

I really must get down to CVT and experience the Prentice flight this year

Pic 6 Could be the Red Pelicans 1962 team ( Albert will correct me if I am wrong)

Always nice to see Percivals! Here are a few more. Not quite so old though.

You can fly on the Prentice at our first open day of 2006. April 1st and 2nd. More info at www.classicflight.com
