1. Title: The First Percival E2 Mew Gull, G-ACND: A Pioneering Milestone in Aviation History 2.. This photograph showcases the historic moment as the first Percival E2 Mew Gull, registration number G-ACND, takes to the skies for the very first time. The Percival Aircraft Company, based in Llandow, Wales, manufactured this innovative biplane between 1935 and 1938. The Mew Gull was designed primarily for the training of pilots, with its open cockpit configuration and robust construction. 3. Background: The Percival E2 Mew Gull was a significant development in the aviation industry, as it was one of the first aircraft to incorporate a number of advanced features. These included a cantilever wing design, a retractable landing gear system, and a streamlined fuselage. These features not only improved the aircraft's performance but also contributed to its sleek and modern appearance. 4. Design and Development: The Mew Gull was designed by the talented team at Percival Aircraft, led by Nevil Shute Norway, who was also an accomplished author. The aircraft's name was derived from the Mew Gull, a common seabird found along the coast of Wales. The Mew Gull was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, which provided a top speed of around 110 mph. 5. Impact: The first flight of the Percival E2 Mew Gull, G-ACND, on March 22, 1936, marked the beginning of a new era in aviation training. The Mew Gull's innovative design and advanced features set a new standard for training aircraft, and it went on to become a popular choice among flying schools and private pilots. This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of this groundbreaking moment in aviation history.
