One possible powerplant is the Bristol SiddeleyBS.75. HANDLEY PAGE Cricklewood, London NW2. H.P.81 Hermes 4 Developed from the H.P.68 Hermes 1 prototypeof 1945. through the experimental Hermes 2, the Hermes 4 was the first British four-engined airliner of post-war design to enter service withBOAC. It was used extensively on the corporation's African routes from March 1950, and a total of 25 were built, all for BOAC. This fleetwas sold to various British independents. Powerplant: Four Bristol Siddeley Hercules 763 of 2,100 b.h.p. eachdriving 13ft dc Havilland four-bladed propellers. Dimensions: Span, 113ft; length, 96ft lOin; height, 30ft; gross wingarea, 1,408 sq ft. Weights: Max take-off, 86,0001b; landing, 75,0001b; capacity payload,17,0001b; empty, 51,6551b.

(2,000 st.m.) at 240kt (276 m.p.h.) at 20,000ft. H.P.R.3 Herald Series 100 and 200 Designed as a private-venturereplacement for the DC-3, the Herald prototype, powered by four 825 b.h.p. (max take-off) Alvis Leonides Major 701 piston engines, madeits first flight on August 25, 1955; the second prototype took to the air just over a year later. Increasingly wide acceptance of the Rolls-RoyceDart led to the piston-engined version eventually being abandoned in favour of the Dart Herald, announced in May 1957. The first prototype Herald was re-engined with two Darts and madeits first flight in this form on March 11, 1958, and the second prototype was similarly re-engined. This aircraft, G-AODF, and the first produc-tion aircraft have been demonstrated in Greece, Turkey, Persia, Pakistan, India and Ceylon as well as in Central and South America, Australia,New Zealand and the Far East. Under an arrangement announced by the Government in June 1959.three Dart Heralds were to be purchased by the Government at a cost of some £750,000, including spares and crew training. These are to beoperated by BEA for an initial five-year period over Scottish routes where the aerodromes are too small for Viscounts. The three aircraft(Series 100) for BEA are due to be delivered towards the end of the year (during February of 1962 two BEA Heralds are to be used byH.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh during his tour to 11 South American countries). The original plan was that BEA would buy these three air-craft from the MoA at the end of a five-year period. Dart Heralds have been certificated at a gross weight of 40,0001b which can be maintainedup to ISA + 13°C. At ISA + 30cC maximum weight is 39,1001b. Handley Page have announced that the weight is to be increased to43,0001b. Dart Heralds have now flown some 3,000 hours.

Payload accommodation: Cabin volume, 2,198 cu ft; cabin length.48ft 9in; max width, 8ft 8in; max height, 6ft 5in; usable floor area. 260 sq ft; dimensions of largest entrance, 64in • 65in; max seats, 48.Fuel capacity: 1,080 Imp gal plus 53 Imp gal water-methano!. Performance: Cont cruising speed, 237kt (272 m.p.h.) at 20,000ft and36,5001b, with a fuel consumption of 184 Imp gal/hr; balanced field length at max take-off weight, sea level, ISA, 4,100ft; at sea level, ISA-f 15 C, 4,700ft; at 5,000ft, ISA and 36,8501b, 5,700ft; landing distance (from over 50ft obstacle, max landing weight), 2,275ft; range A (maxpayload), 750 n.m. (862 st.m.) with 38 passengers: range B (max fuel). 1,500 n.m. (1,725 st.m.) with 6,7001b payload at 266kt at 23,000ft. Herald Series 200On September 7, 1960, HP announced that Jersey Airlines had placed an order for six Series 200 Heralds, two for delivery in June 1961, twoin June 1962. and two in June 1963. Value of the contract is about £1.75m excluding spares. Maritime Central Airways and Nordair Ltd ofCanada have 4 Series 200 Heralds on order with an option on two more. At the 1961 SBAC display Itavia, Italy's only independent scheduledoperator, signed a contract for two Series 200 Heralds with an option on one more. The Series 200 has a 42in fuselage stretch forwardof the wing, permitting a 50-56 seat layout, compared with 44-48 in the Series 100. An executive version of the Herald is also avail-able with interior layout to suit customer requirements. A rear under-
