Последние Herald. Самолет получил второе рождение в 1980-е годы на рынке лизинга подержанных авиалайнеров. Высокая надежность и низкая стоимость привлекали эксплуатантов, и Herald летали до 1990-х годов. К числу основных операторов этих машин относится "Channel Express" (фото), базировавшаяся в международном аэропорту Борнмута. Эта компания использовала в 1990-е годы не менее 11 Herald разных вариантов, главным образом для перевозок грузов на острова в проливе Ла-Манш. Последний самолет сняли с эксплуатации в 1999 году.

The Australian airline cancelled its order for the H.P.R.3 (powered by four Alvis Leonides piston engines) when it was acquired by Ansett-ANA, which favoured Fokker’s F.27 turboprop.

HANDLEY PAGE HPR-3 HERALD. Designated HPR-3, the Herald has been produced by Handley Page as a private venture . It is a' general purpose transport with characteristics which suit it for undeveloped countries and in particular for taking the place of the DC-3. The Herald may eventually be offered with turboprops when engines of suitable power are available. The machine is engineered and stressed for such units.
Salient features: The Herald has a deep oval-section fuselage with nose not unlike that of the Viscount . There is marked upsweep on the underside of the rear fuselage, the windows are circular, and there are two loading doors on the port side. The wing is of fairly high-aspect ratio with little taper and square-cut tips. There is a distinct hump in the fuselage at the wing/fuselage intersection. Large flap guides are situated on the wing top surface. The circular section nacelles of small diameter are underslung, and have small cooling intakes above the spinner. In the head-on view the dihedral from the roots on the aircraft is most noticeable . The fin is very tall and square cut, while the tailplane, also square cut, is set low. Main undercarriage legs retract into the inner nacelles, and the nosewheel forwards.

The Dart Herald is a fast, adaptable airliner for the shorter routes. It carries up to 43 passengers in a style to which any traveller gladly becomes accustomed. They relax in pressurised, air-conditioned comfort, enjoying the smoothness of turboprop flight. Alternatively, the Herald takes over 4 1/2 tons of cargo or combinations of passengers and freight. Between cabin and hold is a partition which can be set in several positions to give differing passenger and cargo space for each flight.
