Imperial Airways Handley Page H.P.45 'Heracles' - probably Croydon Airfield
Imperial Airways G-AAXC Handley Page H.P.45 'Heracles'
G-AAXC was named after Heracles, also known as Hercules,
who was the son of Zeus and Alcmene in Greek mythology and
was noted for his extraordinary strength.
Heracles first flew on 8 August 1931 and was impressed into
service with the RAF on 3 March 1940.
The aircraft was destroyed in a gale on 19 March 1940 at
Whitchurch Airport, Bristol, when it was blown together with
Hanno and damaged beyond repair.
Scan from original contact print, (info from Wikepedia)
It features in Roy Lockwood's 1934 short Documentary film Airport (a 'day in the life' of London's Croydon Airport).
