In this photograph, the third prototype of the Handley Page HP137 Jetstream 200, registration G-ATXJ, takes to the skies against a backdrop of fluffy clouds. The Jetstream 200 was a significant development in the aviation industry, marking Handley Page's foray into the realm of jet-powered transport aircraft. The HP137 Jetstream 200 was a twin-engine, turbofan-powered aircraft designed for the transport of passengers and cargo over short to medium distances. With a seating capacity of up to 19 passengers, this versatile aircraft was well-suited for regional air services and executive charter operations. The third prototype, G-ATXJ, first flew on March 2, 1966, and was an important testbed for the refinement of the Jetstream 200's design. It underwent extensive flight testing to evaluate the aircraft's performance, handling characteristics, and overall suitability for various roles. The prototype's sleek, aerodynamic lines and distinctive T-tail configuration were a testament to Handley Page's engineering prowess. This photograph captures a moment in aviation history, as the third prototype of the Handley Page HP137 Jetstream 200 takes flight for the first time. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovation and determination that drove Handley Page to push the boundaries of aviation technology and create a new generation of jet-powered transport aircraft. The Jetstream 200 went on to enjoy a successful career in the skies, with over 300 units produced between 1967 and 1981. Its legacy continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and professionals alike, as a testament to the ingenuity and vision of those who dared to dream of a faster, more efficient way to travel the skies.
