	HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR - HISTORY
		Handley Page, after the success of their wartime Halifax bomber, soon looked at new designs for better bombers and a tail-less swept wing aircraft was one of their pet projects.
		Handley Page's test pilots had fun with their new aircraft - after test flights over the North Sea they would often 'forget' to tell Air Traffic they were coming back, which they did at maximum speed and altitude in a dead straight line for the UK.
		Sir Frederick Handley Page, on his deathbed, railed at the destruction wrought by the mandarins of Whitehall, saying "The misguided little men think they are having their revenge".

		Frederick Handley Page, who started in business as an aeroplane builder in 1908, having works at Barking, was one of the principal exponents of the inherently stable machine, to which he devoted practically all his experimental work up to the outbreak of war.

		Handley Page Ltd was the first company in the United Kingdom to be registered for the construction of aeroplanes.
		Handley Page for too long ignored tricycle undercarriage, and produced fairly bad airliners after World War 2, (I trooped out to Africa in one and it was horrible), and so on.

	Handley Page - Aircraft - H.P.11
		Handley Page lost little time in designing an aircraft to meet an Admiralty specification of December 1914 for a large twin-engine patrol bomber.
		Identified originally as the Handley Page Type O, it was later designated O/100, the figure 100 indicating its wing span in feet.
		This was very much larger than anything else built by the Handley Page company up to that point, and when the prototype was completed, it was the largest aeroplane that had then been built in the UK.

	Airliners.net: Handley Page Herald (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A contemporary of the BAe 748 and Fokker F-27 Friendship, the Handley Page Herald was an unsuccessful attempt at providing a replacement for the ubiquitous Douglas DC-3.
		Handley Page optimised the Herald design for operations from underdeveloped airfields with operators which it thought would prefer piston rather than turbine power.
		However, by this time the Vickers Viscount had proven the reliability and economical operation of turboprops and consequently Handley Page made the decision to switch to turboprops in May 1957.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Handley Page Halifax - Frans Bonné
		Handley Page redesigned their H.P. 55 to the H.P. This type had somewhat reduced wingspan, and the powerplant alternatively 2 × Bristol Hercules or 2 × Rolls Royce Vulture X. Worries concerning the Vultures made Handley Page (like Avro did too) decide to make it a 4 engine bomber, based on the Rolls Royce Merlin.
		Handley Page Halifax Mk II Based on the Halifax Mk I Series 3, it was powered by 4 × Rolls Royce Merlin XX's or 22's, rated at 1,390 hp (1.036 kW) each, and fitted with an improved supercharger.

		The Handley Page Halifax has, since 1945 always lived in the shadow of the Avro Lancaster.
		It's total bomb load was always less than the Avro Lancaster, nor could it carry the range of stores, and in spite of continual development its performance never really reached that of the Lancaster, (poor altitude performance relative to the Lancaster was the problem).

	Scratchbuilding a 1/48 Handley Page 0/400
		The Handley Page 0/400 was the ultimate wartime development of the original 0/100 "Bloody Paralyser", built for Britain's Royal Naval Air Service in 1915.
		The ancient (going on 30 years!) and venerable Airfix Handley Page is in 1/72 scale so if I wanted a real "Bloody Paralyser" of a model, scratchbuilding was the only way to go.
		Pages 198 and 212 contained the three photos that allowed me to settle on one particular machine, in this case an aircraft that had made an emergency landing at the American airfield at Chatillon-sur-Seine in the summer of 1918.

		The other two were RAF, and one is thought to have visited Pat Bay in the mid-1980's.
		The Handley Page Hampden was not a great aircraft, however, it served Bomber Command with Distinction during the dark early days of WWII, after which it was relegated to Coastal Command and as a crew trainer at various Operational Training Units.
		At the end of the war, no complete or partial Hampden aircraft were retained for museum display.

	Imperial Airways - Handley Page W8B
		The internal bracing of the fuselage of the O/400 military bomber made it unsuitable for long-term use as a civil transport, leading to redesign and the development of an aircraft identified originally as the Handley Page W/400 (H.P.16 in the 1924 designation system).
		Three of the aircraft were used by Handley Page Transport and one was supplied to the Belgian airline Sabena; subsequently, three more W.8b transports were licence-built for Sabena by SABCA in Belgium.
		Final civil version was the H.P.30 W.10, four of which were built in 1926 by Handley Page for Imperial Airways, and the last of these was not retired from service until 1933.

		The Halifax shared with the Lancaster the major burden of Bomber Command's night bombing campaign against Nazi Germany but unlike the Lancaster, which only served as a bomber during the war, the Halifax was used extensively on other duties including glider-tug, agent dropping transport and general reconnaissance aircraft in Coastal Command.
		The last operational flight was made by a Coastal Command Halifax in March 1952 while operating from Gibraltar.

	FM 1/48 Handley Page Halifax Mk.III
		The Handley Page Halifax was the most advanced strategic bomber in the RAF's inventory from its service introduction in 1941 until overshadowed by the Avro Lancaster in 1942.
		The first two versions of the Halifax were powered by the Merlin engine, whose performance on the airframe were causing many of the limitations that put the aircraft in Bomber Command's sights.
		Handley Page was able to switch powerplants to the Hercules radial engine with the Mk.III version and this change improved the aircraft's performance, but not enough to compete against the Lancaster.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Handley Page Hampden - Frans Bonné

		To have the maximum performance, Handley Page chose a pod-and-boom type fuselage, which was extremely slender: 3 ft (0,91 m) wide at most.
		The twin brother of the Hampden, the Handley Page H.P. 53 Hereford was identical, save for the powerplant.
