The Handley Page W.8C brought new standards of comfort to airlines in 1922. This photograph was taken inside the saloon of one of the W 8B machines, but the saloon of the new type will look exactly similar, except that there will be 16 seats instead of 12.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS THЕ aeroplanes in photographs that pose a dilemma. Many readers will be familiar with the picture of Frederick Handley Page, aged about 25, seated in the cockpit of his first powered aeroplane, the Type A or Bluebird, in April 1910. It shows the monoplane in its original form, with a 20 h.p. Advance air-cooled four-cylinder vee engine. The picture was clearly taken at some sort of event, perhaps a fete or a presentation to show off his first-born, as a marquee is conspicuous in the background. Although Handley Page has optimistically reversed his cap in true aviator fashion, he was never able to persuade this diminutive monoplane, with its temperamental engine, to achieve more than a short straight hop before he crashed it. Perhaps that was just as well, as he had made no provision for any form of lateral control. <...> Philip Jarrett.
