Proctor Vb.

That sounds a good move Stan. Are the Heron props the Bracket or Hydromatics? As you say, there won’t be any external change. When will you have the new configuration flying…? 🙂

Snoopy. I have a couple of Heron props/spinners so they are already matched. The poor old V was expected to do the job with only the Queen II and is a much bigger and heavier machine. We have a 700 odd yard strip but on load and if the temperature is up its a bit of a struggle. The extra 50 ponys should give her a more sprightly performance and won’t detract from looks or sound. May even match the Gull???
I have been told of one experimental fitting of a Lycoming O-540. Now that would have been sacrilage and looked awful.

With regard to the Air-Britain’s latest historical publication, On the Wings of a Gull , this is a history of Percival Aircraft and its successors. This book, which fills an important gap in British aviation history is the result of many years of research by the late Dave Gearing and a two-year effort by a team of Air-Britain specialists who have contributed their individual expertise to produce the definitive work on Percival, Hunting and Hunting Percival. Historical coverage of the company up to the time of closure of the Luton factory is accompanied by detailed histories of the individual types from the Gull to the Strikemaster and over 1,000 photographs. There are production histories of more than 3,300 Percival and Hunting aircraft, exhaustive coverage of the many Percival projects, details of the company’s wartime subcontract activities, detailed three-view drawings and 32 pages of colour illustrations.

I am delighted that Tango Charlie is bringing the Proctor Echo X-Ray to North Weald. Air-Britain has invited owners of all Percival & Hunting Percival aircraft in the UK to join us. Hopefully we can gather a good array of aircraft for visitors to enjoy alongside our other theme types (Piper Cubs and Aeroncas). As part of this gathering and thanks to Weald Aviation and Kennet Aviation, there will be a line up of all marks of Provost.

If you worked for any of the Percival or associataed companies you will be most welcome to join us at North Weald for the launch. Watch our website for further details and about the this publication.

The book will be first available at North Weald on 9-10 June

Just this morning heard that a Vega Gull rebuild project has had an export license agreed and is returning soon to the UK for rebuild to flight status. Little by little airworthy wooden Percival’s are on the increase!

Excellent, excellent news! 🙂

Does anyone have any details of the book that is being launched?

Q32/30-2.

Excellent move Stan. What prop will you use?

There was a Q30 fitted to one as a Proctor 6 and went to Canada on floats. Understand it didn’t last long before hitting trees on takeoff. My suspicion is that it was used as a flight test machine for the Prentice installation which, at that stage of the game, was in development.I have an ex Heron Q32 that is slated to be fitted to ARP when the current engine reaches TBO.

I shall be there so it will be nice to pop in and take some photos.
