This took 5 hours! Anyone who has been to New Zealand would have sean this plane as they leave the airport. The reason why It's there is because It is the plane of New Zealand's greatest aviator. She was the first person to fly from England to New Zealand and made many endurance flights and broke so many records. About the plane it's self, The Percival Gull was a British single-engined monoplane, first flown in 1932. It was successful as a fast company transport, racing aircraft and long-range record breaker. It was developed into the Vega Gull and the Proctor. So as always leave an Upvote and enjoy!!
