Handley Page HPR.7 Dart Herald Regional Airliner Family

The Handley Page HPR.7 Dart Herald was a British twin-turboprop regional airliner developed as a post-war DC-3 replacement. Its conventional high-wing layout and short-field capability suited feeder routes and smaller airports, while the type's limited production and worldwide airline service illustrate the difficult transition from piston transports to turboprop commuters.
