Hunting Aircraft

Hunting Aircraft

Hunting Aircraft was a British aircraft manufacturer, primarily producing light training aircraft. The company was originally formed as Percival Aircraft Co. in Gravesend in 1933, before restructuring in 1936, when it became Percival Aircraft Ltd, and moved to Luton. The company became part of the Hunting Group in 1944, changing its name to Hunting Percival Aircraft in 1954 and finally to Hunting Aircraft in 1957. In 1959 it merged with the Bristol Aeroplane Company, English Electric and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.
