Title: Handley Page Hampden
Post by: DemonFox on May 26, 2011, 08:12:30 AM
Well a lot of people want non American planes and the Hampden was put in service in 1938. It's was fairly fast for a bomber at 268mph. It had a good defensive guns for an early war bomber. Twin .30 cals I'm a ventral turret and twin .30 cals in a top turret. It had a good pay load at 4000lb. Plus look at how awesome it is!

Feel free to bash the idea but you know you want it!  :lol

     Even the Brits stopped using it quickly, it and the Battle are two birds they'd rather forget.

If you want a fast British bomber, stick with the Boston or the Mossie.

-1: there are a lot of rides I'd rather see before we get down into Hampden land.

+ 1 A very interesting aircraft to model for early war, right after the He-111. It would be a nice challenge for HTC to model those engines... well, maybe not, really...

Cheers,

Wellington would be a much better and more representative addition.

Yep.  Wellington would serve the purpose better, and cover a lot more historical time as well.

+1 on the Hampden, but later on down the line....  Gotta admit though, looks like it'll be fun to fly, even if I'm blasted well before target. :x
