EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and innovative design of the Handley Page HPR.1 Marathon I, registration number G-AMHT (msn 131, ex XA274), as it sits proudly at Shoreham Airport between 1959 and 1964, approximately around 1961. The Handley Page HPR.1 Marathon I was a ground-breaking aircraft designed and manufactured by F.G. Miles Ltd. and F.G.Miles Engineering Limited, a British aviation company. This particular Marathon I, G-AMHT, was one of the earliest examples of this high-performance aircraft, which was renowned for its speed and agility. The Marathon I was a two-seat, single-engine, low-wing monoplane, which was primarily used for advanced training and aerobatics. Its distinctive features included a retractable undercarriage, a large wing area, and a powerful Rolls-Royce Avon jet engine. The Marathon I was also notable for its advanced aerodynamic design, which was a departure from the more traditional designs of the time. In this photograph, we can see the Marathon I's elegant shape, with its sleek wings and streamlined fuselage, as it sits on the tarmac at Shoreham Airport. The aircraft's registration number, G-AMHT, can be clearly seen on the fuselage, along with the distinctive F.G. Miles Ltd. and F.G.Miles Engineering Limited logos. The Marathon I would go on to become a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and pilots, and this photograph captures a moment in time when this innovative and ground-breaking aircraft was still in its infancy.
