Percival Q.6

Hi all

I’ve been working on a profile of the beautiful yet somewhat overlooked Percival Q.6 for a wider project and a few questions have been thrown up during research into the aircraft.

I’d like to do a profile of G-AFFD whilst owned by Sir Philip Sassoon, however there seems to be some uncertainty over what colour the aircraft was painted. In his book ‘Hunting and Percival Aircraft’ John Silvester states the aircraft was painted grey and silver, yet another source quotes metallic blue. Does anyone have any idea which might be correct? Are there any colour photos of these aircraft around?

Any help appreciated.

Tom
