sam - Percival Sea Prince [1 of 2]

Percival Sea Prince - the T mk.1 was modified to become the Royal Navy's "flying classroom" for three radar and wireless trainees.

WP314 was built in 1952 and spent much of it's working life with 750 Squadron, replaced by the Jetstream in 1978.
Acquired by SAM in 1994, from a breaker's yard. It felt quite cramped in the "classroom", even without all the equipment.
