  • Percival D-2 Gull
    Le Percival D.2 Gull Par Jean-Louis BLENEAU Le Percival Gull fut construit avant tout pour participer à la King’s Cup, célèbre course de vitesse à handicap organisé en Grande-Bretagne. Le prototype G-ABUR y participa à deux reprises, en 1933 et 1934. Pour cette seconde participation, arborant le numéro de course ‘40’, il avait reçu un nouveau moteur et la verrière du cockpit avait été redessinée (Photo Hunting Percival) Tout passager aérien passant par l’aéroport international d’Auckland ne peut manquer de remarquer, accroché au plafond de la galerie commerciale, le petit monomoteur avec lequel l’aviatrice Néo- Zélandaise Jean Batten réalisa la première liaison aérienne en solitaire entre la Grande-Bretagne et la Nouvelle Zélande. Plus proche de nous, dans le Parc du Cinquantenaire, le Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace de Bruxelles nous propose un appareil du même type remarquablement restauré. Ces deux avions sont des Percival Gull. Leur nom est associé à quelques exploits sportifs remarquables marqués, durant les années 1930, par la rivalité entre deux constructeurs britanniques, Percival Aircraft Company et Miles Aircraft Limited. Du pilote militaire au pilote d’essais : Comme souvent durant la première moitié du XXe Siècle, l’histoire de la firme Percival fut d’abord celle d’un homme, et en particulier d’un pilote de talent. Edgar Wikner Percival naquit le 23 février 1898 à Albury, en Nouvelles Galles du Sud, à la limite de l’état de Victoria. Australien de naissance, il avait des origines suédoises : Son grand-père maternel, Edgar Magnus Wikner, était le frère du philosophe suédois Pontus Wikner.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s delusional belief that he could appease Hitler by throwing Czechoslovakia and Austria under the bus not only sacrificed these nations, but was eroding the honour and moral position of England. When Poland was attacked, Chamberlain was still hoping for a negotiated treaty. As Germany tightened its grip on Poland and then went for Norway, the British leadership was still reluctant to attack German private property such as factories and fuel storage depots. Despite a complete lack of war leadership at the top, for most of the last half of the 1930s, there were men and women who had no trouble reading the writing on the wall. Some were Members of Parliament like Harold Macmillan, Bobby Boothby and Ronald Cartland, while others were young men in their teens, who saw that they would need to stand for something. To stand and, as MP Leo Amery so famously said in Parliament, “Speak for England”. One such young man was George Trevor Southgate, a tall and slender 18 year old from Ealing, a suburb of West London. Enamoured of aviation, Trevor Southgate enlisted in the Royal Air Force, receiving a Short Service Commission as an acting Pilot Officer on 16 May 1938, just as Germans in Sudetenland were beginning their internal campaign that paved the way to annexation by the Nazis.

    ROYAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH & INFORMATION SERVICES PAPERS OF AMY JOHNSON & JIM MOLLISON AC77/23 CONTENTS Introduction i Brief Biographies: Amy Johnson ii Jim Mollison iii Abbreviations used in the list iii Classification Scheme iv-vi Classified List 1-56 Appendices Lists of Related Material A In the RAF Museum’s archive collection 57 B Held by other Museum Departments 58 C Held in the Public Record Office 59 D Held by Hull Local History Library 60 E Held by Crockers Oswald Hickson 61 F Held at Wright State University 62 G Held in the National Sound Archive 63 H Held by the National Film & Television Archive 64 I Held by the National Portrait Gallery 65 Bibliography 66-67 Index 68-82 AC 77/23/ INTRODUCTION The vast majority of the papers in this collection were donated to the Museum in two batches by Amy’s sister Molly Jones in 1977, and were allocated the group accession numbers AC 77/23 and AC 77/36. Items 19, 22 and 296 were received in 1977 from Mrs Diana Barnato Walker. The bulk of the collection seems to have been assembled after Amy’s death by her father, Will Johnson, although other material may have come from other relatives. It is less clear how the material relating to Jim Mollison came to be included: there seems to have been little contact between him and the Johnson family after Amy and Jim’s divorce in 1938. A volunteer from the Museum’s Society of Friends, Alan Jaques, did a great deal of work in the late 1980s identifying photographs and compiling a provisional box listing, without which the work of cataloguing the papers would have taken much longer than it did.
