EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Handley Page (Reading) H.P.R.1 Marathon aircraft, registration number G-ALVW, in storage at Woodley prior to its conversion to the T.11 variant. The image, taken circa 1951, offers a glimpse into the world of aviation history when aircraft were still largely maintained and modified in hangars and workshops. The Handley Page (Reading) H.P.R.1 Marathon was a British twin-engine transport aircraft, designed and built by Handley Page Ltd. in Reading, England. It was originally developed as a military transport aircraft, with the first flight taking place in 1948. The Marathon was known for its versatility and durability, and it saw service with the Royal Air Force and other military forces around the world. In the photograph, the Marathon sits quietly in the dimly lit hangar, its wings folded and its engines covered. The aircraft's distinctive shape, with its high-mounted wings and tailfin, is clearly visible. The image also reveals the intricate details of the Marathon's exterior, from the rivets on its metal skin to the various markings and identification codes. The conversion of the Marathon to the T.11 variant involved the installation of additional equipment and modifications to the aircraft's interior, transforming it into a specialized training aircraft for navigators and flight engineers. The conversion process was a common practice during the post-war era, as military aircraft were often repurposed for new roles. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the important role that companies like Handley Page played in shaping the skies above. It also highlights the meticulous work that went into maintaining and modifying aircraft, ensuring they remained in top condition and ready for new missions.
