Handley Page Harwich

[tigercat]

The Handley Page Harwich  was originally designed as a strategic bomber for the Fleet Air Arm. It entered service in the early-1950s. In the post-Second World War war period, the British authorities felt there was a need for an independent tactical bombing capability. It was designed to operate from the revised Malta Class carriers. It was modified to give the Royal Navy a  tactical nuclear strike capacity. For many years after its introduction, it was also the heaviest aircraft to enter operational status operating from an aircraft carrier.
