Handley Page Type 5 ‘Yellow Peril’

The first really successful Handley Page monoplane of 1912/13. The pilots were the Painter and Lt. Wilfred Parks RN, both who treated it as a joke, as they did everything else.

It made a flight over London from Barking to Brooklands, piloted by Edward Petre.

Top speed: 60 mph.
