EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and elegant design of Percival Proctor 5 G-AHWR (msn AE73), a classic aircraft of Universal Flying Services Limited, as it sits gracefully on the grass at Fairoaks Airfield on 29 November 1947. The Percival Proctor, a British two-engine, twin-seat, general aviation aircraft, was a popular choice among private pilots and flying schools due to its versatility and reliability. The Percival Proctor 5, specifically, was an improved version of its predecessor, featuring a more powerful engine and an updated cabin design. G-AHWR, registered to Universal Flying Services Limited, was one of many Proctor models that graced the skies during the post-war era, offering a newfound freedom and excitement to those who took to the air. The serene setting of Fairoaks Airfield, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, serves as the perfect backdrop for this timeless image. The photograph not only showcases the beauty and sophistication of the Percival Proctor 5 but also transports us back to a bygone era of aviation history, where the thrill of flight was a cherished experience for many. This photograph, taken in 1947, is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the role that aircraft like the Percival Proctor played in shaping the way we explore the world from above.
