Photo Comment

This rare example of a Percival Pembroke is one of the few remaining. It has an interesting history flying for the Belgian Air Force (RM-9) as well as Air America (N51964) and was involved in drug smuggling operations during the Vietnam Air. This aircraft also spent time in South America where it too was allegedly running drugs between Honduras and the US as HR-ITA. It became N702JM in 1987, then N510RP in 1988, when it was stored at Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minnesota. Officially reverted to N702JM in 2005, but not painted on. It remained there until 2018/2019, when it apparently made its way up to Canada.
