Wikipedia, 1st Feb. 2010: Handley Page V/1500 (the Handley Page V/1500 was a British night-flying heavy bomber built by Handley Page towards the end of the First World War; it was a large four-engined biplane, which resembled a larger version of Handley Page's earlier O/100 and O/400 bombers; the end of the war stopped the V/1500 being used against Germany, but a single aircraft was used to carry out the first flight from England to India, and later carried out a bombing raid on Kabul during the Third Anglo-Afghan War; it was colloquially known within the fledgling Royal Air Force as the "Super Handley")
