EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Percival Prentice T.1 G-AOLK (msn PAC/225, ex VS618), a classic aviation icon, during its time in storage at Biggin Hill Airfield in the mid-1960s. The Percival Prentice was a two-engine, twin-boom trainer aircraft, primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for pilot training from the late 1940s to the 1970s. G-AOLK, in its distinctive RAF livery, is seen here in a quiet and seemingly forgotten corner of the airfield, a stark contrast to its former glory as a vital component of the RAF's training fleet. The aircraft's wings are folded, and its engines are covered, indicating that it is out of commission, awaiting its next assignment. The Percival Prentice was a versatile aircraft, capable of various roles, including transport and communication, in addition to its primary training mission. Its robust design and reliable performance made it a popular choice among pilots and instructors. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of aviation history, when aircraft like the Percival Prentice played a crucial role in shaping the careers of countless pilots. Today, G-AOLK is preserved and on display at the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of military aviation.
