Handley Page HP-42 Project

saw the ‘Imperial Airways’ sales team at Old Warden a few years ago but have not seen them since

Yes, it was only a PR stand for Imperial Airways for a couple of seasons with a mention of the project – the same as the club and the website.

Try sending another email to them – they get several thousand hits each week and may have missed the odd email in amongst the spam.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry if you were offended-i did not mean to offend anyone- i must’ve missed that very unfortunate piece of news very sorry- condolences to all concerned- i did email the site some months ago- but received no reply, and also saw the ‘Imperial Airways’ sales team at Old Warden a few years ago but have not seen them since- this is why my suspicions grew

JOHN FARLEY MEMORIAL FUND

Hello, I am using my late fathers details to reply to this thread,(I am his daughter). John Farley who was co-running the project died unexpectedly on 10th September 2007 as mentioned in the last issue of Flypast Magazine, (and Aviation News).

To find out more about John’s life and find out about the scholarship programme and fund set up in his name, why not take a look at my personal livejournal: http://jfmf.livejournal.com

I do know a little about the subject of the HP42 project. Firstly, the website is an Imperial Airways database and not a website for the project, (I know it says something along the lines of ‘Official HP42 website’ but that just means it will be the official place for details/news,) which is why there are only brief outline details of the project on it. It is not supposed to be regularly updated but is an archive for Imperial Airways.

Secondly, the project is a private concern (unlike almost all others which are public and publicly funded.) The Vulcan springs to mind!

There are more details through the club but again this is an Imperial Airways club and not one dedicated to the project.

I also know that the project is progressing as expected but due to certain outside parties using the information published to date for their own gain, the rest is being kept under wraps for the time being.

😡 BTW OXCART I dont take kindly to people inferring that they should be suspicious of this project – this project is certainly not like many of the other horror stories I have heard of. Maybe you would like to take this into consideration before posting such comments – especially when people like me get to see them. Before posting gossip on this site, why not try emailing the Imperial Airways website direct. Respect at this time would be greatly appreciated by John’s whole family and the Team.
