  • Percival P.50 Prince in Australia
    Last update 4.2.16 PERCIVAL P.50 PRINCE IN AUSTRALIA By Geoff Goodall Adastra Hunting Geophysics Prince VH-AGF at Essendon Airport, Melbourne 1957. The Collection Percival Aircraft Ltd's bid for the post-war medium range transport field was the attractive Percival Prince series, powered by Alvis Leonides 9 cylinder radial engines. It was of all metal stressed skin construction with fabric-covered control surfaces, designed for passenger appeal. The high wing gave good views and the roomy fuselage and retractable tricycle undercarriage provided a low level floor for ease of entry. A total of 31 Princes and the improved President models were built at Percival's Luton Airport works before production ceased to allow construction of large RAF orders for the military development, the Pembroke. In April 1954 Percival Aircraft Ltd, originally founded by Australian Edgar W. Percival, was taken over by the Hunting group and renamed Hunting Percival Aircraft Ltd, three years later changing to Hunting Aircraft Ltd. The story of the Percival Prince in Australia goes back to 1951, when three Prince C Mk.1 transports (equivalent to civil model Series 3C) were ordered by the Australian Government. They were to support the Long Range Weapons Establishment at the Woomera Rocket Range in the north of South Australia, as well as British atomic test grounds in remote desert areas of the state. Under contract No.6/Acft/6705/CB.10(d), the Australian specification was for 550hp Alvis Leonides 502/4 engines, solid nose without transparent panels, 8 removable passenger seats or cargo cabin, special fuselage side windows for oblique photography and fittings to allow its use for patients on stretchers.
