1500 Atlantic F7140 Grace Handley Newfoundland
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Handley Page V/1500 F7140 Atlantic, a historic aircraft that once graced the skies over the Atlantic Ocean. The image, taken at Harbour Grace in Newfoundland, Canada, showcases the plane's impressive size and imposing presence as it sits calmly on the water's edge. The Handley Page V/1500 was a long-range flying boat designed and manufactured by the British aircraft company, Handley Page, during the 1930s. With a wingspan of over 100 feet and a length of almost 90 feet, it was one of the largest aircraft of its time. Its distinctive hull design allowed it to take off and land on water, making it an ideal choice for transatlantic flights. This particular aircraft, F7140, served with distinction during World War II as a maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare plane. After the war, it was converted for civilian use and flew passengers across the Atlantic until the early 1950s. The photograph's composition, with the plane dwarfing the small harbor and surrounding buildings, underscores the awe-inspiring nature of aviation technology during this era. The moody, overcast sky adds to the sense of drama and history, making this image a captivating glimpse into the past.
