Historical Description

The Handley Page Hereford is a British light bomber that was developed as a modernized version of the Hampden, with new Rolls-Royce Kestrel engines. This aircraft was developed during World War II, with production beginning in the late 1930s. Herefords were used by the Royal Air Force mainly as training bombers and in auxiliary roles; however, due to problems with the engines used, they did not enter widespread operational service. The Valom model allows for a faithful recreation of the aircraft’s historical markings and configuration, as seen in British Air Force training units during the early years of the war.
