EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Percival P. 56 Provost T. 53 181, a former aircraft of the Irish Air Corps, in a state of abandonment at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel during the year 1982. The aircraft, with its distinctive markings and design, stands as a silent reminder of its days in service and now serves as a hauntingly beautiful relic of aviation history.
The image showcases the weathered exterior of the derelict plane, with rust spots and faded paint adding to its air of mystery and nostalgia. Despite its current state, one can still imagine this aircraft soaring through the skies on missions or training exercises for the Irish Air Corps.
The Percival P. 56 Provost T. 53 was known for its versatility and reliability, making it a popular choice for military use during its time in active service. Its presence at Casement Aerodrome is a testament to both its durability and eventual retirement from duty.
As we gaze upon this photograph from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era of flight and exploration. The intricate details captured in this image allow us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship of this particular model but also the larger history of aviation that it represents.
