The Percival Q.6 Petrel was a 1930s British communications aircraft built by Percival Aircraft Limited at Luton. Originally, the Percival Q.6 was a civil transport but It was used during the Second World War by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy as a communications and liaison aircraft.〔 It was a twin-engine, low-wing monoplane with a tailwheel undercarriage. ==Design and development== The Percival Type-Q was Percival's first twin-engine aircraft. It was constructed of wood, with plywood and fabric covering. It had a fixed, tailwheel undercarriage, with faired mainwheels, although four of the production machines would be equipped with retractable undercarriage. Two versions were designed: the Q.4, a four-seat executive transport, and the Q.6, a six-seat feederliner. The Q.4 was not built. The prototype Q.6, registration ''G-AEYE'', first flew on 14 September 1937 at Luton Airport. Production started in 1938, and the first production aircraft, registered ''G-AFFD'', was delivered to Sir Philip Sassoon on 2 March 1938.
