Photo Comment
Built in 1940 as P2667 registered as G-AIEY to Field Aircraft Services of Croydon in November 1946. One of three Proctors planned for conversion to resemble Ju87 Stukas for the Battle of Britain film. The 'Proctuka' conversion was not a success as the handling characteristics were very poor, only two were completed and only one (G-AIEY) ever flew, ultimately radio controlled models of Ju87s were used for filming. The aircraft were subsequently scrapped with some remains lingering at Pinewood Studios until 1973. This photo was added on 1 May 2023, and has since been viewed 177 times.
