A nice oldie.

No, not me!! Just saw this Proctor on the radar.

They used a Proctor to teach us aircraft marshalling when I did my trade training at RAF Kirkham in 1957.

Hi George,

I saw her up yesterday lunchtime, perhaps only a couple of thousand feet. My youngest was mesmerised. ✈️

It really is impressive. Those props are huge.

The Proctor brings back memories of Air Atlantique classic flight at Coventry and my first trip in the Prentice with Trev Clark and accidentally knocking the canopy release mid flight 😁
