EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek and elegant Percival Q.6 Petrel, registration number G-AHOM, as it gracefully soars through the sky. Circa 1960, this Percival Q.6 Petrel served as a company hack, providing essential transportation for business purposes. The Petrel was a popular choice for private and corporate aviation due to its versatility and reliability. The Percival Q.6 Petrel was a British-designed and manufactured aircraft, known for its advanced features and sleek design. It was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane, capable of carrying up to seven passengers and a pilot. The aircraft was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Queen 14 engine, which delivered impressive performance and fuel efficiency. The Petrel was a favorite among pilots for its easy handling and smooth flight characteristics. Its spacious cabin and large windows offered excellent visibility, making it an ideal choice for business travel. In this photograph, we can see the distinctive features of the Petrel, including its pointed wingtips, streamlined fuselage, and large tailfin. The Percival Q.6 Petrel remained in production from 1947 to 1959, during which time over 350 examples were built. This particular aircraft, G-AHOM, is a testament to the enduring appeal and versatility of this classic British design. As it cruises through the clouds, we can imagine the important business deals and strategic meetings that were no doubt conducted aboard this elegant and capable machine.
