Lancashire Prospector E.P.9 G-APWX: A Vintage Utility Aircraft from the Skies of Lancashire This photograph showcases the Lancashire Prospector E.P.9 G-APWX, a utility aircraft designed by the renowned British engineer Edgar Percival. The majority of the 47 aircraft produced between 1947 and 1957 were manufactured by Edgar Percival Ltd. However, later production took place at Squires Gate and Salmesbury under the Lancashire Aircraft Company. The Prospector was a versatile and adaptable aircraft, capable of various roles such as passenger transport, crop-spraying, and even as a glider tug. This particular aircraft, G-APWX, is seen here in its prime, likely during the late 1950s or early 1960s. The Lancashire Prospector was a favorite among pilots for its robust construction and ease of handling. The production of the Lancashire Prospector ended in the early 1960s, with the last aircraft leaving Salmesbury Airfield. Today, this iconic design remains a cherished piece of aviation history, with a few surviving examples still in operation. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Lancashire Prospector and the rich aeronautical heritage of Lancashire.
