Edgar Percival posing alongside the first "new build" Mew Gull, G-AEKL, at Gravesend. It was flown by Percival in the 1936 King's Cup Air Race and the Folkestone Trophy Race that summer before being sold to Air Publicity Ltd for use by Tom Campbell-Black in the Schlesinger Race. It was then fitted with a Gipsy Six Srs II and DH variable pitch propeller, becoming an E.2H in the process.
