A03012V Handley Page Jetstream
Product Info
About the Aircraft:
A particularly handsome looking aero plane, the Handley Page Jetstream was a sleek twin engine turboprop aircraft designed as a regional airliner and specifically to satisfy the potentially lucrative US market. The Jetstream offered great promise, especially when an order for 20 aircraft was placed, even before the design drawings had been completed.
Re-reengining the aircraft with a US Garrett TPE-331 turboprop powerplant resulted in a significant order from the USAF being placed, but this was subsequently cancelled, due to late delivery. Spiraling costs resulted in the bankruptcy of Handley Page, however, production of the Jetstream was taken over by Scottish Aviation and the Jetstream would go on to serve as the RAFs standard multi-engine pilot trainer for many years and later as an observer trainer with the Royal Navy.
About the Model:
An aircraft possessing as much style and class as it does service history has definitely earned a spot in your Airfix model range. With a simply yet attractive paint scheme and 220mm wingspan, the Handley Page Jetstream is now available in 1:72 scale to bring home today.
