Handley Page O/400 Bomber

My ggrandfather was a Canadian who flew a Handley Page 0/400 bomber in WW1
for the RFC. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any that still existed
in a museum somewhere in England perhaps. We have the bombsite from the one
he flew.

Thank you.

You might write the Imperial War Museum in London. It's a small
museum; I rather doubt they'd have a WWI bomber, but they might be
able to tell you more, and they might well be interested in the
bombsight.

Good luck!

I seem to remember that there is an airworthy replica that made a Nile
trip a few years ago - better than nothing, I guess.

What does the bombsight consist of - two nails on a piece of wood? :-)

Cheers,

Actually the bombsight is a glass disc about two feet in diameter shaped
like a lens

That was a replica of a Vickers Vimy.

AFAIK there are no H-P aircraft of that era left, at least not in the
UK.

Cricklewood Aerodrome disappeared years ago and what's left of the
Radlett/Park Street site is going fast as well.

Oh, bum...

But they both had four wings and two engines, so...

Shame...

Cricklewood Aerodrome sounds like something out of 'The Goodies'.
