Bomb-bay
editThe article currently states that the Hendon had a central bomb-bay in the fuselage. - ID Huntley's article "The Fairey Hendon (Part2) " in the February 1974 edition of Aircraft Illustrated magazine states that the Hendon had ten large bomb cells that spanned the wing and fuselage between the engines (only the centre two bomb cells were in the fuselage) and there were another six smaller bomb-cells in the wings behind the row of larger cells. - A diagram as part of the scale plans accompanying the article illustrates this. - ID Huntley should know, he was the Fairey archivist for many years.

Propellers
editUnder the specification section, the current article states: "2-bladed fixed-pitch propellers" - The production Hendon II had three-bladed fixed pitch metal propellers. A look at the photo that already illustrates the article will confirm this. Only the prototype had two-bladed propellers, and even that was later upgraded to the three-blade production standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.221.115 (talk) 09:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
