VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Percival Prentice, an aircraft designed for the Royal Air Force. The image features a black and white illustration of the Percival Prentice in flight, with its registration number visible on the side of its fuselage and underwing. Below it are rippling reflections, suggesting that it's flying low over water. The text below the illustration provides information about the aircraft: "In Production—for the Royal Air Force Designed to Air Ministry Specification, the Prentice T. Mark I is now in production for use by the Royal Air Force both at home and overseas. The Prentice is a 3-seater of metal construction, fitted with a 250 h. p. De Havilland Gipsy Queen "70" engine. Its uses include basic flying training, aerobatics, instrument and night flying training; navigational and radio training. Quickly detachable instrument flying training screens are provided together with electric intercommunication and radio. " At bottom right corner there's additional promotional text: "Dating back to preliminary strength tests at His Majesty's Aircraft Establishment, a Prentice withstands loads approximately 8 times as great (or more than twice as much) as it would ever encounter in service. " Finally, at the bottom of this ad we see "PERCIVAL AIRCRAFT LIMITED" along with their location details: "LUTON AIRPORT: BEDFORDSHIRE - ENGLAND ALSO AT TORONTO CANADA. " The reference number "G. P. Ltd 1289" indicates this might be part of a series or catalog from General Precision Limited.
