The two part windscreen and sidescreens give excellent visibility, and a full width bench seat across the transom provides both a pleasant seating area and plenty of storage lockers beneath. The entire cockpit can be enclosed by the sprayhood and backdrop. The floor is teak on marine ply, fitted in 1996, and there is a transom-mounted boarding ladder.
The engine is housed under a box in the centre of the cockpit alongside the helm, where it is easily accessible both for daily level checks and major servicing.
'Peri' is a fine example of a classic Fairey Huntress. What separates her from the rest however is the major refurbishments carried out during 1995/6 and again in 2010. These have ensured that she is sound both structurally and mechanically, and in 2010 she was totally repainted inside and out, windows rechromed and the engine fully serviced. Since 1996 she has benefitted from owners who have kept her in excellent order.
