I was looking on the Internet Modeler site and there is an item about some nice H.P. 42 photos in the collection of the (U.S.) Library of Congress.
I believe you can get copies of them, and they are not copywrite protected in case any of you would like to use them in future books or articles.

Glad they’ll be of help to someone.
I don’t know how rare they are, but it’s neat to see any detailed photos on any type of pre-war airliner, a race sadly near extinct.

Some outstanding I.A. images there! Brilliant, just what I need….

Is Hannibal in a watery grave in the Gulf, or under a dune somewhere between Dibba and Sharjah? We shall probably never know, I agree.

Yes, another aeronautical mystery that will probably never be solved. Internet searches will show that there is a black hole for information concerning this accident.:confused:

Hannibal
Thanks for the link to that excellent site. You probably know about the conjecture surrounding Hannibal’s disappearance in 1940 approaching Sharjah.

As I shall be in that part of the world next week, I shall have a look!
