Airfix 1/72 Handley Page Hampden Photo build Guide

A step by step photo build guide for the Airfix 1/72 scale Handley Page Hampden , used as a medium bomber by the RAF in the early years of the war. Nicknamed the 'flying suitcase' due to it's rather compact nature , it was celebrated by its crews for manouverability but not it's cramped conditions and vulnerability to fighter attack.
This example was flown by Flight Lieutenant (later Wing Commander) Roderick 'Babe' Learoyd of 49 squadron on a raid on the Dortmund Ems Canal on the 12th August 1940 for which he was later awarded the Victoria Cross for outstanding leadership and courage under fire.
