Its crew's prompt offer to help with flood-relief transport was immediately accepted. On one flight alone this Herald carried nearly 7 tons of clothing and other urgent supplies, spares and fuel from Recife to Fortaleza in the stricken area. Such a mission of mercy is indicative of its adaptability to local conditions and of its capabilities as airliner or freighter and as civil or military transport. Heralds are built by Handley Page to fly; to fly strongly and safely with power to spare. They are making light work of some of the most difficult flying conditions and airstrips to be found anywhere. Their fail-safe design, craftsmanship and Rolls-Royce Dart engines are guarantees of economy, versatility and safety. Handley Page's pledge of after-sales-service continuity » the guarantee that Heralds will keep flying efficient ' an inexpensively on the world's air routes. HANDLEY PACE RADLETT LONDON BEADING
