Hordern-Richmond Autoplane

The Hordern-Richmond Autoplane was a 1930s British twin engined two seat cabin touring monoplane designed by Edmund Hordern, and constructed by Heston Aircraft Company Ltd.

[1] The fixed main undercarriage legs were inline with the engines, with no brakes and a simple tail skid.

At the top of each of the normal control columns there was a small wheel which took the place of the more usual rudder bar or pedals.

The aircraft's colour scheme is believed to be as follows: Fuselage, fin, rudder and nacelles dark blue, lettering G-AEOG with a white outline.

Hordern-Richmond merged with Lang Propellers of Weybridge, and a new factory was built at Haddenham, near Thame, Buckinghamshire.
