	The Radio Academy - Hall of Fame
		Tommy Handley was already a seasoned radio performer, when in 1939 the phenomenally successful ‘It’s That Man Again’ - better known by its acronym ‘ITMA&- was created to showcase his wisecracking personality.
		He put together more radio revues, among them ‘Handley’s Manoeuvres’ and ‘Tommy’s Tours’, often in partnership with scriptwriter Ted Kavanagh, who was to create ‘ITMA&;, and in 1934 teamed up with fellow comic Ronald Frankau as the radio duo Murgatroyd and Winterbottom.
		Though launched in the final days of peace, on 12 July 1939, it was the onset of war that allowed Handley to give vent to topical, Hitler-baiting gags, making ‘ITMA&; essential listening – ‘that man’ in the title being Hitler himself.

	Handley Page a History
		Frederick Handley Page was one of the great British aviation pioneers whose names live on — indeed it is a proud boast that since the First World War the RAF has still never been without a Handley Page design.

	Handley Page H.P.57 Halifax
		Handley Page's H.P.56 proposal was selected for prototype construction, but the company had doubts that the Vulture engine would emerge as a reliable production powerplant, and set about the task of redesigning the H.P.56 to take four Bristol Taurus engines, but this was soon changed to incorporate Rolls-Royce Merlins instead.
		The Halifax, however, scored over the Lancaster in its multi-rolecapability, for in addition to its deployment as a heavy night-bomber, it was equally at home when employed as an ambulance, freighter, glider tug, personnel transport and maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
		On 3 September 1937 Handley Page was awarded a contract for the manufacture of two prototypes of the H.P.57, with construction beginning in early 1938.

	HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR - HISTORY
		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.
