EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Handley Page HP42E, registration number G-aUD, affectionately known as Hanno, as it gracefully touches down at Karachi Airport in Pakistan. The Handley Page HP42E was a versatile transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by the Handley Page Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom during the 1930s. This particular aircraft, G-aUD, was one of only two HP42Es that were operated outside of the UK, having been sold to the Indian government in 1940. The image captures the moment of Hanno's arrival at Karachi, with the sun casting long shadows across the tarmac as the aircraft taxis towards the terminal building. The HP42E's distinctive features are on full display, including its large wing span, twin engines, and elegant lines. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the bustling activity of the airport in the 1940s, with other aircraft and ground crew visible in the background. The Handley Page HP42E played a crucial role in the transportation of personnel and supplies during World War II, and its service in India was instrumental in supporting the British military efforts in the region. This photograph is a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy and its place in aviation history. The image also provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of aviation during a bygone era.
