The Handley Page Hinaidi was a twin-engine heavy bomber developed from the Hyderabad and named after Hinaidi, an RAF station in Iraq. Built to Air Ministry Specification 13/29, it was one of two twin-engine Handley Page bombers that served with the Royal Air Force between 1925 and 1935. The first machine, the HP.33 Hinaidi I, was essentially an early Hyderabad with a different engine and a changed fin and rudder, and it first flew on 26 March 1927. The true Hinaidi, the HP.36 Hinaidi II, changed the structure from wood to metal and used two Bristol Jupiter VIII radial engines. Production ended with 36 aircraft, issued from 1929 to Nos. 99, 10 and 503 Squadrons, and the prototype took part in the Kabul airlift of 1928 and 1929. Some aircraft were converted to the Clive transport version.
