Imperial Airways Handley Page G-AAUD 'Hanno'
G-AAUD 'Hanno' - Handley Page production number 42/3,
was named after the Carthaginian explorer Hanno the Navigator,
who explored the Atlantic coast of Africa in approx. 570 BC.
'Hanno' first flew on 19 July 1931 and was later converted to a
H.P.42(W) (Hannibal class). The aircraft was impressed into
No. 271 Squadron RAF and was destroyed in a gale at
Whitchurch Airport, Bristol when it was blown together with
Heracles and damaged beyond repair on 19 March 1940.
