EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Percival Proctor 5 G-AGTF, registration number Ae.16, at Hadleigh Airfield in 1967. The Percival Proctor 5 is a twin-engine, high-wing, general aviation aircraft that was first registered on 12 March 1946 and retired from use at Whatfield Airfield in Suffolk in July 1964. The Percival Proctor series of aircraft were popular for their versatility and durability, making them a common sight at airfields across the United Kingdom during the post-war era. The Proctor 5 was a development of the earlier Proctor 3 model, featuring more powerful engines and an increased payload capacity. Despite being withdrawn from service several years prior to this photograph, the G-AGTF still cuts an impressive figure against the backdrop of Hadleigh Airfield. Its weathered exterior tells a story of countless hours in the sky, while the surrounding landscape and the contrasting textures of the aircraft's metal surface and the grassy runway add to the sense of nostalgia and history. The Percival Proctor 5 G-AGTF remains an intriguing piece of aviation history, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the designers and engineers who brought it to life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when aviation was still a relatively new and exciting frontier.
