The record-breaking Gull Six G-ADZO, c/n D.63, in which Amy Mollison reduced the London - Cape Town time to 3 days 6 hrs 26 minutes. She returned in 4 days 16 hrs 17 minutes, a record which was broken by H.L. Brook in the same aircraft the following year. The aggregate time of the round trip was broken by Alex Henshaw's Mew Gull flight in 1939.

The spread is an enlarged copy of part of a booklet produced by the Wakefield Castrol Oil company in 1937 entitled "1936 Achievements". Two pages were devoted to Jean Batten's flight to New Zealand in G-ADPR, two to the outbound flight to the Cape by Amy Mollison, and the two here to the return flight. The missing captions read as follows (left): "Cheers all the way - Amy's triumphant progress from Croydon to London"; (right upper): "The Percival Gull Gipsy-motored Aeroplane"; (right lower): "Admirers greet her on landing".

C/n D.65 now spends most of its time in storage in Australia, having been acquired with a Proctor through local interest in Edgar Percival who was born there. Since arriving it has been on static display only two or three times, this occasion being part of a National Heritage Week exhibition at the National Convention Centre, Canberra in March 1990. The aircraft still carries the British registration G-AERD and the maroon and silver paint scheme applied in the UK.
