EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Percival Q6, YI-ROH, affectionately known as the 'Bird of Eden,' an iconic aircraft that once graced the skies of Iraq. Belonging to the esteemed King Ghazi I, this plane holds historical significance as a part of the Iraqi Royal Family's aviation fleet. The Percival Q6 was a versatile British-designed aircraft, produced by Percival Aircraft Company, and was renowned for its durability and adaptability. The YI-ROH, specifically, was a Q6 Gull Commander Mark II, which could be used for various purposes, including passenger transport, mail delivery, and even as a trainer. King Ghazi I, an aviation enthusiast, was known for his extensive collection of aircraft. The 'Bird of Eden' was one of his prized possessions, reflecting the monarch's passion for aviation. The plane's unique registration number, YI-ROH, is believed to represent the initials of the King's name, Yasin I, and the Arabic word for 'bird,' 'Roh.' In this photograph, the Percival Q6, YI-ROH, is depicted in pristine condition, standing proudly on the tarmac. The plane's sleek design, with its distinctive gull-wing configuration, is a testament to the advanced engineering of the time. The 'Bird of Eden' served as a symbol of Iraq's modernity and progress during the 1930s and 1940s, making it an essential addition to any aviation history collection. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance and innovation, where the Percival Q6, YI-ROH, the 'Bird of Eden,' reigned supreme in the skies of Iraq.
