EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and elegant design of Percival Proctor 3, registration number G-AHMV, also fondly known as the 'Windmill Girl.' The Percival Proctor series of aircraft were a popular choice among private pilots and flying clubs in the 1930s and 1940s due to their affordability and reliability. The Percival Proctor 3, specifically, was a two-seat, low-wing monoplane with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage. Powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, it boasted a cruising speed of 115 mph and a range of 550 miles. The aircraft's distinctive rounded wings, which earned it the nickname 'Windmill Girl,' were designed to reduce drag and improve performance. In this photograph, the Percival Proctor 3 sits gracefully on the grassy runway, its wings casting long shadows in the soft sunlight. The aircraft's gleaming metal body and polished propeller reflect the bright light, adding to its striking appearance. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and freedom, as the plane waits for its next adventure. The Percival Proctor 3 was a beloved aircraft among pilots and aviation enthusiasts, and this photograph is a testament to its timeless beauty and enduring appeal. Whether it was used for cross-country flights, training exercises, or simply for the joy of flying, the Percival Proctor 3 left an indelible mark on the history of aviation.
