I remember visiting the old Science Museum store at Wroughton. Always was an amazing place. New store will no doubt be even better

Dirges of Wroughton and the citrine lyre:
Beast of three.
An anamorphic boar-folk hybrid - bowler hat wearing; with incense stuck to its back. It burns a flame from its chest. 1-bit style rendering with patchwork of patterns.

Apologies for a poor scan from an old slide (1990). It was taken at a fly-in at Wroughton, when I was managing it. The Percival Prentice T.1 was not a success for the RAF who wanted an instructor/pupil pair & a third pupil behind to 'observe'. Underpowered & quirky, it quickly faded out 🛩️⚔️📍
Firstly, an apology for the quality of this image. This is a scan from slide film I was shooting at the time (1990); I have included it because the type is a rare one. The Percival Prentice T.1 seen here at a Percival Aircraft Fly-in at the Science Museum, Wroughton, when I was managing it in 1990, was an unfortunate type. Designed just after WW2, it was when the RAF got a bee in their bonnet about having their initial trainers seat TWO pupils and the instructor. The idea being that the second pupil would sit behind the instructor/pupil pair and gain information so as to make HIS forthcoming lesson easier. This just didn't work out, for many reasons, and it made the aircraft's power-to-weight ratio not very advantageous. The DH Gipsy Queen 32 was only just 251hp, the Prentice was, as you a fairly substantial aircraft. The Prentice was supposed to replace the classic DH Tiger Moth and the Miles Magister trainers, amongst others. Not only that but adding more powerful Gipsy Queen engine - ending up with a 345hp version - didn't work either. Odd aerodynamic fixes were tried, too; you can see the dihedral wingtips, and the elevators were increased in area with strange 'extensions' at the outer ends. Fortunately, the far better DH Chipmunk quickly arrived (paired with the Hunting Percival Piston Provost) , and jet trainers, such as the Jet Provost were on the horizon. There are four Percival Prentices on the British Register, with at least one - G-APJB - still active. An 'odd bird', as we say.

Popped along to a breakfast meet at the White Hart in Wroughton today, and was pleasantly surprised at the turnout. Some interesting stuff here, and that Austin pickup was concours level tidy!

Nice piece by Rowan Moore in the Observer describing the Science Museum’s massive new store at RAF Wroughton. I had the opportunity to visit this year to see the reserve Glasgow tramcars and daleks happily stored on a windy Wiltshire hill. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
