Hail aftermath

[Byker]

Handley-Page HP42 caught on ground by storm and hail. I think this was the
"Hanno" or "Heracles"

"G-AAUD Hanno

G-AAUD, production number 42/3, was named after the Carthaginian
explorer Hanno the Navigator, who explored the Atlantic coast of Africa
in approx. 570 BC. Hanno first flew on 19 July 1931 and was later
converted to a H.P.42(W) (Hannibal class). The aircraft was impressed
into No. 271 Squadron RAF and was destroyed in a gale at Whitchurch
Airport, Bristol when it was blown together with Heracles and damaged
beyond repair on 19 March 1940."

Heracles was G-AAXC.

Hangars will keep out the hail, but when a twister comes roaring through all
bets are off...
