The Handley Page Type E was a two-seat, single-engined high-wing monoplane intended as a demonstrator, and only one was built. It was begun in the hope of winning a War Office competition at the end of 1911, but the specification looked hard to meet, so it was completed as a demonstrator and a new design, the Type F, was prepared for the military prize. The Type E had much in common with the smaller single-seat Type D, including the characteristic wing plan inherited from the Weiss patent, wing warping for lateral control and wings and tail varnished yellow, and it also inherited the name Yellow Peril. It flew successfully from 1912 to 1914, carrying several hundred passengers and flying several thousand miles.
