Percival Prentice

The Percival Prentice was designed as a basic trainer and served as the RAF's main basic trainer between 1948 and 1953. It was an all-metal, low-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear. The enclosed cockpit was a marked departure from typical RAF predecessors such as the Tiger Moth. It incorporated many new features based upon the experiences of training wartime pilots.

HAL Bangalore manufactured around 60 Prentices and they were used by the IAF in training pilots as well as instructors till the mid 50s. They were later passed onto Army Aviation Squadrons.
