Percival Gull
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Percival Gull was a British low-wing, wood-and-fabric monoplane, built by Percival Aircraft Company of Gravesend (later to become Hunting Aircraft) first flown in 1932. It was powered by an aircooled inline engine. It led to the Percival Proctor. A racing development lead to the single-seat Percival Mew Gull, flown in the King's Cup by Alex Henshaw. The most famous example of the Percival Gull was the long-range model used by Jean Batten for her record-breaking flights to South America and New Zealand. Batten's Gull is preserved at Auckland International Airport.
A development of the Gull was the Percival Vega Gull
