Shots of the Handley Page 'Hannibal' biplane airliner. It is for use by Imperial Airways. Chocks are removed from the wheels. The plane moves off along the airfield.
I am not sure that these aircraft were even equipped with radio, given that takeoff clearance from the tower to the pilot had to be made visually by flashlight. It is also said that the four Bristol Jupiter engines had to ben run gently for 20 minutes before takeoff to minimise risk of seizure when under full power.* Very comforting! Does anyone have a photo of the inside of a cockpit of an HP 42? *Source GPO film.
