Evening Graeme

As I refreshed the page I saw your light was back on, so I started my stop watch!!!

It is the Handley Page Heyford.

You have control and a challenge I hope

A conversion. Not sure about actual numbers but I think at least some were built.

Edit: was at least test-flown once (the outcome was, well, poor...)

Yep!
I.A.R. 80M
Ill-fated though... They tried to put a Junkers Jumo 211 inverted V12 engine in place of the original radial and the test pilot who made the first flight was forced to shut down the engine and glide back to earth because it was tearing itself loose from its mountings...



Back to you!

Fascinating! Haven't heard of or seen that version before!

Close to 2300 hrs here so I'll pack up the books and catch you another day!

Open House

Cheers
Graeme.
