Proctors Mk 1-11-111-!v & 5

P6309

I see that the Air Britain Proctor listing at
http://www.ab-ix.com/POM-Proctor.htm
lacks a lot of detail.
How old is this listing?

Images of ZK-ALS c/n K.318 ex P6309 G-AIEC attached.
This aircraft was WFU, B/up at Ardmore Jan61.

******* My thanks to you Flyer1 for the great pics of ‘my old A/C’. — lovely to see her when she was in all her glory, sadly there seem to be none of her in RAF ‘uniform’
It is hard to believe that some of my handywork was burnt on the other side of the world all those years ago.— Thanks again for them.

Proctor 5s ZK-AQZ and ZK-ARP are still airworthy and active; substantial parts still exist of P5s ZK-APH ZK-AQK and ZK-AVW

we have no flying Proctors in Australia, but a number of complete examples in museums. We do have a Gull 6 and a Gull 4 that fly regularly. They are based at Murwillumbah, in New South Wales.

Are there many Proctors around today? Especially flyable, but also in general…

There is a Mk 111 & a Mk 1V airworthy here in the UK. and at the end of 2007 there will be a Mk5, there are a few in museums in the UK – Belgium, Denmark, Australia, one or two others are flying in New Zealand & Australia, a few others are being restored in various other countries by private owners.

Hi There,

I noticed you had no replies to this topic – perhaps it may help if you are a bit more specific:

– What do you mean by “early” – 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s?
– Civil, military, or both?
– Which area do you need them from – UK, Europe, Australia, all over the world?
– Do you want actual photos, or will links to photos on the internet suffice?

The A.J.Jackson collection of photos at the Brooklands Museum has many Proctor photos – here’s a list:
http://www.ajjcollection.co.uk/P1.HTM

Details on how to obtain the photos are here:
http://www.ajjcollection.co.uk/details.htm

The Ed Coates Collection has a number of photos of Proctors in Australia – go into each list and use the “Find on this page” command to do a search for the word Proctor.
http://www.edcoatescollection.com/

This was from a quick look, but if you can be more specific, I might be able to find more.

**** My thanks David for your reply, I have looked at the ‘beauty’s’ in Ed Coates sites, I would like some of 1940/49 military ones, & any others that were civilianised. I would also like pics of G-A HTE , G-AGTB – G-AGTC – G-AHTV, or in fact any personal pics.of Proctors up to 1970, from all parts of the world which are not in Ed Coates collection etc. —- photo’s would be nice — links may help, but I have searched a lot of them — who knows though, I might well have missed a few !!!
