Handley Page Hampden Mk.I

The Handley Page Hampden Mk I was a British twin-engine medium bomber that served as a cornerstone of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command during the early years of World War II. Known for its distinctively slender fuselage, it was affectionately—and sometimes derisively—nicknamed the "Flying Suitcase" or "Flying Tadpole" due to its cramped crew conditions.
