The Handley Page HP25 Hendon was a British torpedo bomber of the 1920s. The Hendon was a two-seat, single-engine biplane that was a further development of the Handley Page HP19 Hanley . Six copies of the aircraft were ordered by the British Department of Aviation for testing purposes. These six aircraft represent the total number of copies of this type built. Thus, the machine must be viewed as an economic failure.
