VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Percival Aircraft, featuring the Percival Proctor airplane. The image shows the aircraft in flight with its registration number CS-PIV clearly visible on the underside of the wing. Below the plane, there's an illustration of a pastoral scene with buildings that could suggest an airfield or rural airport setting. The text "A PLACE FOR THE PROCTOR" prominently heads the page, implying that this aircraft fits well into various environments. The body text highlights how immediately post-war conditions have created a demand for private communication without reliance on regular transport services and suggests that this need can be met by planes like the Percival Proctor. It mentions that it is designed to meet both civil and military requirements and boasts about its performance attributes. At the bottom right corner, there's a logo indicating Portugal as part of its marketing strategy or target market region. This ad likely dates back to shortly after World War II when there was indeed significant interest in smaller aircraft for personal and business use due to changes in transportation needs during peacetime.
