VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the Handley Page aircraft lineup, featuring the Hastings, Hermes IV and V, and Marathon I and II models. The image highlights the full-scale production of the Hermes IV for BOAC's Commonwealth routes, emphasizing its role as a mainliner. It also mentions that the Hastings serves with the RAF and describes the Marathon I as a feeder-airliner for various overseas operators. Notably, it points out that jet versions of these aircraft are powered by turbo-propellers, marking an era of technological advancement in aviation. The ad reflects post-war Britain's pride in its aviation industry and its contribution to both commercial air travel and military logistics.
