Photo Comment
The prototype of the Hampden. The production aircraft looked less angular, with the "birdcage" nose replaced by a curved Perspex moulding that incorporated an optically flat bomb aimer's panel. With the aircraft and its tyres in pristine condition, the location is assumed to be Radlett where it was built and made its first flight. However, the museum gave no location for the photo.
