EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the sleek and elegant Percival P3 Gull Six, registration number G-ADPR, takes center stage at the 1953 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party held at Hatfield on 14 June. The Percival P3 Gull Six, a six-seat, single-engine, low-wing monoplane, was a popular aircraft in its time, known for its distinctive gull-wing design and impressive performance. Jean, the proud owner of G-ADPR, stands beside her beloved aircraft, her expression radiating a sense of joy and accomplishment. Dressed in a stylish summer dress and hat, she looks every inch the elegant hostess, while the backdrop of lush greenery and blue skies adds to the idyllic scene. The Percival P3 Gull Six, with its wings folded, appears poised for takeoff, as if ready to whisk Jean away on another adventure. The Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party was an annual event that brought together aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and industry professionals to celebrate the latest advancements in aviation technology and design. The setting at Hatfield, a historic airfield and home to the National Aeronautical Establishment, added to the sense of excitement and wonder. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era when flying was still a thrilling and romantic pursuit. The Percival P3 Gull Six, with its timeless design and the spirit of adventure it embodies, remains an icon of aviation history.
