Dude, Google ‘’Hadley-Page’’ and tell me you’re not looking at a four engine British bomber. The British named their bomber aircraft after their designers. I was being humorous for Christ sake.
“...Google ‘’Hadley-Page’’ and tell me you’re not looking at a four engine British bomber. The British named their bomber aircraft after their designers. …”
Not sure what searching on “Hadley-Page” would produce, but searching on “Hndley Page Aircraft” (my poor spelling notwithstanding) located a list of over 40 designs: biplanes, monoplanes, single engine, twin engine, four engine; bombers, airliners, trainers, transports, and research aircraft; piston/prop machines and jets (complete with a correctly spelled heading and everything). The company’s Halifax of World War Two may be their best known bomber design: wasn’t restricted to air bombardment missions, got used as a glider tug for Overlord and other airborne operations.
Not sure who Halifax was, in British history. But the list did include “Hercules”, “Hermes”, “Hamlet” and “Hyderabad” - not airplane designers, at least not that I was aware of.
Hamlet did design an aircraft, the B-2. I could be wrong about that, though. B-2 or not B-2, that is the question...
Do what I did . Google Handley-Page’’
