		The Handley Page Aircraft Company was founded by Frederick Handley Page in 1909 as the United Kingdom's first publicly traded aircraft manufacturing company.
		One of the final notable Handley Page designs was the Jetstream, this was a small commuter turboprop aircraft, with a pressurised cabin and a passenger capacity of 12 to 18.

	HANDLEY PAGE
		By then, the company was already producing the Halifax, a large four-engine bomber.
		Handley Page contributed a twin-engine monoplane bomber, the Hampden.
		At the height of Britain's bomber offensive, the Halifax comprised 40 percent of the strength of the RAF Bomber Command.

	Scottish Aviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much later the company built some Jetstream turboprop transport and navigational training aircraft following the collapse of the Handley Page Aircraft Company (which designed the type).
		It built Bulldog trainers after the demise of their original manufacturer, Beagle Aircraft Company, which Scottish Aviation absorbed in 1970.
		It built robust military STOL utility aircraft such as the Pioneer and larger Twin Pioneer.

	Handley Page, Frederick
		His company produced a series of military aircraft, including the Halifax bomber in World War II.
		Handley Page then turned to civil aviation, but found this not to be viable without government subsidies, and these were only to be had when the Handley Page airline merged with Imperial Airways, the forerunner of BOAC (now part of British Airways).
		During World War II Handley Page produced the Halifax, of which 7,000 were constructed.
