G-AEXF Mew Gull at the 1954 air races held at Baginton.

OO-ARJ Proctor IV,formerly G-ANWU.

Proctor V OO-ARM,formerly G-AHZY.

Vivian Bellamy test flying G-AIAE Proctor V converted into a lookalike Junkers 87 for the film 'Battle of Britain' although not used in this film, the aircraft languished at Elstree studios where one of the three aircraft built is believed to exist.

The extensive amount of conversion work is evident here,there appearing to be very little left of the original airframe with a cut down rear decking and what look like new gull wings.

Although Viv Belamy was noted for his replica aircraft this was not one of his best as it is said the aircraft only flew on one occasion !
