    PROCTOR Mk.1 VH-AHY rebuild

    Hello

    Leigh pays a visit every now and again – we are mates, unfortunately he broke his wrists a couple of years back and the recovery has been slow. Leigh gets hyperactive when he sees progress.

    I don’t have any detailed drawings for the couple of formers in the cockpit roof. I have the old roof formers, however they are damaged and having never seen a proctor in the flesh, I don’t have a good idea about this area.

    Basically I am looking for information from the former at the front of the door to the back of the rear seat.

    Any images of inside the fuselarge (front and rear would be appreciated).

    In particular I am trying to track down the constructors drawings for the formers making up the roof about the cabin area.

    regards

    Rebuilding Proctors

    Did your proctor come from Ross Shepard in Brisbane? Have a look at the stand for the centre section in the image I put up. Did you ever get the notes you are looking for.

    I have a 2 x CD which I have put together with a few hundred PDF files of construntion drawings, some scans that I have done of the notes and maintenance manual.

    As you likely know, proctors were built from assemblys constructed in furnature factories and and thus the level of detail in the drawings is quite high. The drawings I have were originally from Ernie Clarke in NZ (its stamped on the drawings). If your Proctor is the one I think it is, then the drawings you have were printed by me.

    Leigh Giles sold his proctor project to someone in NZ. Has there been any progress on that project. Mine moves at a slow pace, but it does move. I know a lot about the construction of Proctors, especially in the centre section and tail feathers. I am becomming quite familar with the construction techniques used in the fuselage.

    Any chance you can put up some more images of the fuselage whilst you had the skin of? It would be of assistance.

    regards

    PROCTOR Mk.1 VH-AHY rebuild

    I am hoping to make contact with people who can help me with information and photos that can be of assistance to me with my rebuild project. I have been working on this rebuild for some time and have rebuilt the centre section, and tail feathers. I am working on the fuselage now and need images of the rear of the cockpit. I have hundreds of constructors drawings, a maintenance manual, the pilots notes etc.

    thanks
