For the record, extensive checking shows that both Sir Frederick and the aircraft company spell their names without hyphens. A few of the references that back this up:

Suggested amendment for the "Products" section

There is an aircraft missing from this section. Called the "Hereford", it was a re-design of the Hampden. I think it differed from the Hampden by the engines fitted. It wasn't a success for some reason.

The Hereford is already included in the products section.Nigel Ish (talk) 11:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I have no clue either. It was added by User:NiD.29, so hopefully he can explain it. BilCat (talk) 22:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

The Type D article mentions it as just a nickname given by the test pilot, no mention in the Type E article. MilborneOne (talk) 10:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

According to C H Barnes's Handley Page since 1907, both the Type D and Type E had the nickname "Yellow Peril" while the Type D was known as the "Antiseptic" - both of which appear to have been inspired by the yellow varnishing of the wings and tail.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
