I have a lot of Hampden photos & negatives. Someone asked for Hampden photos. Here are two I did not see when I googled Hampden images.
First one shows Handley Page Hampden Is of 144 Sqn NV-B in foreground, in 1939
Second one shows some 2000lb bombs ready to be loaded on a Hampden.

Great images Joe,

I especially like them because of the uniqueness of the airplane, and the fact my little air museum has a Hampden; that I even got to help restore one summer a long time ago.

Thanks for posting!

Cheers,

David

How's that Hampden doing after the snow storm? Was the weight of snow really that great or was there some structural weakness to the Hampden due to its long stay under water?

Yep, structural weakness, you could say that.
