The 1912 Type F flew well in Military Aeroplane Competitions that summer, flown by Lt. Wilfred Parks RN.
One day Parks and Hardwick started for Farnborough to have it approved, and over Wembley the engine cut out. Park turned down wind to land on the golf course, stalled over some trees and dived into the ground. The machine was not badly broken but they were killed on impact.
The Type F monoplane crashed and brought the first fatalities to Handley Page (H.P.), and it was said that the deaths, from a stall accident, resolved FHP to seek a cure to what was then a very common occurrence.
