Displayed in the International Terminal. Built in 1935 for Jean Batten and used for her solo flights to Brazil in 1935 and to New Zealand in 1936. After being impressed into the RAF during WWII it was returned to Percival Aircraft in 1946 and stored in a canvas hangar when its CofA expired in 1955. It was presented to the Shuttleworth Collection in 1961 and made it's last flight in the UK at Old Warden in 1994 before being cancelled from the British Register in March 1995 after it was sold to New Zealand as ZK-DPR.
