EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases Percival Proctor 5, registration number G-AKIW, which was a cherished possession of the renowned British author Nevil Shute Norway. The image captures the sleek and elegant design of the Percival Proctor, a single-engine, two-seat aircraft, which was popular among private pilots in the 1930s and 1940s. Nevil Shute, an accomplished pilot himself, owned and flew this very aircraft for many years. The Percival Proctor, manufactured by the Percival Aircraft Company, was known for its robustness, economy, and ease of handling. With its open cockpit and fixed landing gear, it offered a thrilling flying experience for its pilots. Nevil Shute's love for aviation was evident in his writing, as many of his novels, such as "No Highway" and "Round the Bend," feature aviation themes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of Nevil Shute, a man who was not only a celebrated author but also an avid pilot. The Percival Proctor 5, G-AKIW, was more than just a means of transportation for him; it was a source of joy, freedom, and inspiration. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of aviation in its early days." This photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between Nevil Shute and his beloved Percival Proctor 5, G-AKIW. It is a reminder of a time when flying was an adventure, and aircraft were more than just machines, but rather, they were extensions of the human spirit. This image is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts, Nevil Shute fans, and anyone who appreciates the history of flight.
