Not a lot of interest in the Hampden so am going to post a few pictures here.

This one is of a Hampden bombing up.

I know we often say that such and such aircraft is forgotten but the Hampden must get the prize for being ignored. Which is a shame because it played an amazing part in the early years of the war.

Look forward to the pictures David (and I am seriously drooling over the sketches in the book)

Another Hampden picture. Note how the colour is about the same as the Canadian one at the CMF Collection.

A real Hampden Roar.

I have always liked this painting "Hampden Roar" by Graeme Lothian.
