VH-BCM Percival
P.44 proctor V (c/n Ae.8)

This Proctor was built post-WW II and
registered G-AGTB before being exported to Australia
in
1948. I have two shots of it, both taken at
Moorabbin. In 1955 it was acquired by Super
Spread
Pty Ltd (see below). It was re-registered soon after this
shot was taken to VH-SST.
I suspect it was used as a liaison aicraft to
spec out spray jobs to be done, rather than as a
sprayer
itself. In the event it was restored as VH-BCM and was
displayed at the Camden
Aviation
Museum in NSW. I am not sure of its current status
(Jan 2005).
