VH-BJY Percival
P44 Proctor V
(c/n Ae.91)
VH-BJY looked crisp and neat when I took this photo of it at Moorabbin
in 1955.
It was withdrawn
from use when the DCA refused to
renew
Cs of A to Proctors in 1962. It was then left out in the open
at Moorabbin ostensibly to be restored for the Aviation
Museum. As Geoff Goodall's shot (below)
taken in May of 1967 indicates,
however, that it was 'way too far gone for that. (In the
event, the
representative Proctor in
that collection became VH-AUC).
