Percival is the aircraft marque of the Percival Aircraft Company, founded in 1933 by the Australian designer and pilot Edgar Percival and later renamed Hunting Percival Aircraft and then Hunting Aircraft. The firm started at Gravesend with the Percival Gull, moved to Luton, joined the Hunting Group in 1944 and was absorbed into the British Aircraft Corporation in 1960. Under the Percival name it built light touring and racing aircraft such as the Gull, Vega Gull and Mew Gull, wartime and postwar types including the Proctor, Prince, Provost and Pembroke, and the experimental P.74 tip-jet helicopter. This entry is the make that groups the aircraft built under the Percival name.
