Percival Pembroke P-66

Loading

The Pembroke, ordered in twelve copies in 1953, came primarily to replace the Avro Ansons. With a capacity of six to eight passengers in the liaison version, it could carry a modest load. Also used as a training aircraft for “transport pilot” retraining. Some aircraft were equipped for photographic purposes over Europe. It should be remembered that the aircraft was originally purchased for photographic missions over the Congo but were never used there.
