Handley Page HP42 G-AAXE “Hengist”

April 27, 2020 Aircraft, Handley Page, India No Comments

Handley Page HP42 Hengist — From Wikipedia: “G-AAXE was originally named for the Hesperides, but was soon renamed after Hengist, brother of Horsa and legendary conqueror of Britain. Hengist first flew on 8 December 1931. It was later converted from a European to an Eastern aircraft. Hengist was caught in an airship hangar fire and burned at Karachi, India on 31 May 1937, making it the only H.P.42/45 not to survive until the Second World War.”
