Some may remember my quiz in the photo section last week. One photo was of the HP 42. Some think it was an ugly aircraft but I think it's a wonderful example of an earlier time, although it was just a bit too late for it's own time. Only 8 were built. It did bring several things that the public and airlines wanted. Safety, reliability, and comfort ensured it's success with Imperial Airways. I found this to be a facinating plane but could only find one for FS4! I never thought any designers would want to make such a thing but look what I found at Avsim today, the HP 42 for FS2004. I took it for a test flight over London England.

Thank you Derek Palmer and Saverio Maurri for bringing such a classic to life. It's a FSDS2 model BTW.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Very nice. I've always kind of liked this plane ever since I made an Airfix kit of one when I was about 10 years old!

It is a classic in every sense!

Aparently there are moves afoot to produce a replica of Hannibal in the UK. That was according to "Aeroplane" magazine & if it comes to a reality i would love to see it.
