Handley Page Type L

The Handley Page L/200 was the internal designation for a biplane aircraft by Handley Page, conceived to compete for the Daily Mail £10,000 prize for the first nonstop air crossing of the Atlantic.

One prototype was designed and built in 1914 at the order of Prince Ludwig of Löwenstein-Wertheim.

It was offered to the Admiralty as a coastal defence aircraft, with variants designated M/200 and MS/200 (seaplane) based on the more readily available sub-100 hp (80 kW) engines, but these were not ordered as the Admiralty had already placed contracts for a seaplane for these duties.

The plans for the L/200 had been lost by the time of the Commission on Awards to Inventors in February 1920, and no photographs remained.
