Great Britain Percival P-57 Sea Prince oct 2015

[lucan]

The Prince was produced in six versions for the civil market. Several examples were operated as executive aircraft including by Standard Motors and Shell Oil. Three aircraft were used by the UK Ministry of Civil Aviation as airport facilities checking aircraft.

The Sea Prince operated in two roles: in T.Mk.1 form it served as a navigation and anti-submarine trainer; the C.Mks. 1 and 2 were flown in the transport role. However, these were landplanes and not COD (carrier on-board delivery) aircraft. Sea Princes operated in both roles from 1954 to 1972 and as a navigation trainer until 1978, when it was replaced by the Handley Page Jetstream

Very cool find!! I personally would have made the sky in picture 2 less blue, so the focus would be more on the plane.

That's a bit different and cool to see. Nice snaps, liking the internal and the mushroom shot
