Percival Proctor 1 handling notes

[DragonflyDH90]

Probably wont get much joy but........

Im trying to locate some Percival Proctor 1 pilot operating notes or Flight Manual.
Proctor II might do at a pinch, even Vega Gull or Gull Six. Reprint is fine or PDF file anything really.

A copy of a flight manual would be ideal as this is what Im trying to sort out at present. We are due to fly our Proctor 1 as soon as the Permit To Fly comes through and CAA are wanting a Flight Manual, there is not a lot of info around other than a scarce few speeds etc that I have for test flying but nothing that would really constitute a flight manual.

I have a copy of some Proctor III and IV notes which may have to do if I have no joy.

Hope someone might be able to help.....

The UK Ministry of Supply produced a set of pilot's notes for use by ferry pilots during and after WW2. They compliment the AP 2095 Pilots Notes General and cover most aircraft types operated by the RAF and British Army during that time. I have copies ( 1977 reproductions by Air Data Publications UK) for both the Havard and Auster AOP 9 which I purchased from the Technical Book Shop in Melbourne. Beautifully produced , very handy and only cost a few dollars. Sure to be a set for the various model Proctors, and I suggest you try the aviation section of your local suppliers of technical books.

Capital Books here in Wellington are always good for getting those rare hard to find aviation books/manuals etc.

Also, have you tried this crowd, Ryan ?

Thanks Chris,
I have just emailed the flight manuals on CD crowd, they are in Wellington also.
I may be able to get hold of a copy of the ATA quick reference pilot notes from the UK as they have them at the York Airforce Museum (nice museum by the way if anyones heading that way and has a fantastic airshow at Elvington each year). The ATA notes covered a huge number of aircraft but only really covered the essential numbers, I would like a bit more but beggers cant be choosers.
