Handley Page Hastings T.5 (TG517)

Left to right: Handley Page Hastings T.5 (TG517). Based on the civilian Handley Page Hermes, it was designed to replace the Avro York as a troop-carrier and freight transport aircraft, at the time it was the largest transport aircraft supplied to the RAF. The first prototype flew in May 1946 and the initial C.1 entered RAF service in October 1948. In total 147 were delivered from 1948. Eight C.1s were converted to T.5s, providing radar training for bomb-aimers at the Bomber Command Bombing School from 1959. By 1968 the Hastings had left front-line service with the delivery of Hercules and Armstrong-Whitworth Argosy transports. The last few were not retired until 1977 including TG517. Only four complete aircraft survive today. TG517 as photographed in 1986.
