Percival P.56 Provost WE507
Designed to Air Ministry spec T.16/48 for a basic trainer, the Provost
entered service with the
RAF in 1953. It
had almost twice the power of its predecessor, the P.40 Prentice.
Of the 461
Provosts built, only about five
survived to go onto the civil register. The type served with the
RAF
until the early 1960s,
when it was replaced by the Jet Provost.
