Nash Petrel __NOTOC__
The Nash Petrel also known as the Procter Petrel is a two-seat aerobatic or glider tug aircraft. It was designed for amateur production by Procter Aircraft Associates of Camberley, Surrey, England. By the time the aircraft first flew, Procter had changed ownership and had been renamed Nash Aircraft Ltd.〔''Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1985–86'', p. 295〕〔"Founded originally by Roy Procter, Procter Aircraft Associates Ltd. had its name changed in 1980, when Alan Nash acquired a controlling interest. Both Nash and Procter are directors of the company, a subsidiary of Kinetrol Ltd." (Mondey, p. 204)〕 ==Development== Based on the earlier Mitchell-Procter Kittiwake design,〔"Petrel takes to the air" 1980, p. 1951〕 the Petrel is an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design powered by a 130 hp Rolls-Royce Continental O-240-A piston engine. Only two aircraft were built, the prototype registered G-AXSF and one built by apprentices at the British Aircraft Corporation factory at Preston in 1973, registered G-BACA. G-BACA had a serious fault with the landing gear and only flew 15 hours before being grounded.〔Cheers 2007, p. 5〕 The prototype still exists but without a current certificate of airworthiness. It is presently fitted with a Lycoming O-360-A3A engine.
