The Albatross was a real beauty. I love the Hendon too though, it looks like something from a comic book.

I remember reading once that the Lockheed Constellation was inspired by the DH91, though done properly of course, does anyone have any more on this?

An impressive view of a row of Halifax bombers being assembled at the Handley Page factory at Cricklewood. The aircraft can be seen looking from nose to tail, rather than in profile, with the tail of the first aircraft visible in the foreground.
