Nice pics,

A 0/400 is another gap to be filled , if a Vimy can be built, so can be this famous and important HP type. but then again I am biased of course

Found some more about the aircraft.

G-EAKE Handley Page O/400 (HP-22) Birmingham 1918
Originally built for RAF under Contract No 35a/3358/C3929 by Birmingham
Carriage Co Ltd with serial J2252 but after initial 30 minute acceptance
check with 14 Aircraft Acceptance Park, placed in storage at Castle
Bromwich. One of 12 purchased by Handley Page from the Aircraft Disposals
Board and Regd 14.8.19 (CofR No 265) to Handley Page Ltd. Partial
conversion only to civil standards with 10 seats and no windows and CofA No 159 issued 16.8.19. Left Cricklewood 24.8.19 for Scandinavian demonstration tour.

However on 6.9.19 an engine cut on take-off at Lillesand and a forced
landing made between two houses with no injuries to the 8 occupants.
Eventually rebuilt and flown to Stockholm 28.6.20. The next day during
severe weather a wing was damaged on landing at Orebro. After patching the
wing damage, on take-off the next day an engine cut again and it crashed
and was burnt out, again with no serious casualties to the occupants. Marks

Between 24.8.1919 and 6.9.1919 it must have stopped in Copenhagen for a spell.

A suttle difference in time…..

So an O/400 it is then.

‘In the 1924 system the O/400 became the H.P.12.’

Is there a difference between O/400 and H.P.12?

The original entry in the Civil Register refers to G-EAKE as a Handley Page 0/400, rather than a H.P. 12.

Since the owner is listed as ‘Handley Page Ltd’, you have almost certainly correctly identified the operator.
