V/1500

Bombers

ManufacturerHandley Page
The Handley Page V/1500 was a British night-flying heavy bomber built by Handley Page towards the end of the First World War. It was a large four-engined biplane, which resembled a larger version of Handley Page's earlier O/100 and O/400 bombers, intended to bomb Berlin from East Anglian airfields. The end of the war stopped the V/1500 being used against Germany. In late 1918, one aircraft was used for the first flight from England to India. In 1919, it bombed Kabul during the Third Anglo-Afghan War. It was colloquially known within the fledgling Royal Air Force as the "Super Handley".
A V/1500 was shipped to Canada in early 1919 to attempt a transatlantic flight.
