Percival Gull Six F-AOXY
Hello,
Currently on delcampe is a photo of Percival Gull Six F-AOXY https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...105282661.html I take it based on the markings that the photo is taken post September 1939. In Matt Comas' article in Avions No.236,'So British,les avions britanniques dans l'Armee de l'Air it states 'the air transport department also received the Percival P.3 F-AOXY.Attributed to the government in September 1939,it was refused by Veritas' It goes on to say it was assigned to Louis Allegre,director of Air France and also director of Aerial Transport. So a couple of questions,was the Director of Aerial Transport a purely civilian,but state function ? and what was the nature of the organisation Veritas that 'refused the machine'? The seller has other photographs some from the same period https://www.delcampe.net/en_GB/colle...s%5B0%5D=10976 Regards, Clint |

Re: Percival Gull Six F-AOXY
I gathered that the Veritas Bureau (still very much in existence) issues/d Certificates of Airworthiness.
According this link (go to p. 41) the CofA was suspended on 17 Oct 1939: https://air-britain.com/pdfs/archive/Archive_1991.pdf Regards, Leendert |
