THE LAST HP HANDLEY PAGE

摘要

On 18 August 1967, chief test pilot John Allam lined up the prototype Handley Page Jetstream, G-ATXH, on Radlett's runway 21, ready for its maiden flight. The hopes of the company and its employees hung on making a success of this promising design, after a disappointing period in the history of a firm that was within a couple of years of its 60th anniversary.
