Pelican Aircraft Consulting presents a unique opportunity to own one of the rarest warbirds in existence and the absolute finest flying example in the world today. Owner no longer able to fly. Reasonable offers invited! Designed as a primary trainer for the RAF, the Percival Provost served with distinction in many RAF Flying Training Schools and was exported all over the world serving the Air Forces of Irag, Burma and Oman, just to name a few. Entering service in 1953, the airplane trained hundreds of RAF pilots that would eventually transition to the Vampire and other aircraft. Paired with the reliable Alvis-Leonides engine, the airplane made an outstaying primary trainer. The Provost provided a stable platform for instrument work and is impeccably balanced in roll and pitch. This fully aerobatic airplane is a delight to fly and will make you the envy of all of your flying friends. This particular Provost began its journey back into the air in 1991. The owner, having flown the Provost in the RAF, wanted to create an authentic and detailed restoration. He found the last airframe produced and teamed up with a world-class restoration shop, Kampel Enterprises, to bring this amazing airplane back to life. No expense was spared to restore this Provost to as close to the original configuration as when it rolled off of the assembly line at the Luton Airport. The culmination of the restoration included the airplane winning Reserve Grand Champion Warbird in 1998 at the EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh. Since the restoration was completed, the airplane has been flown and meticulously maintained by the owner. Each year, one of the original craftsmen that worked on the restoration completes and extensive annual. This unique airplane is offered with an airframe/engine/propeller spares package too extensive to list here. The spares even include a complete engine currently in the process of restoration by the legendary Paul Sharman at Vintech, UK. There are plenty of accessories, parts, engineering drawings and other items to keep this amazing airplane flying for decades to come. This airplane flies like a dream! It's soothly balanced and a great cross-country warbird! You'll turn a lot of heads when this aircraft pull up on the ramp! Detailed information on the restoration and spares package can be provide upon request.

XF914 Was the last airframe manufactured by Percival. This airframe restoration began in 1991 and was completed in 1998. Extensive documentation of the restoration is available.
