FS2004/FSX/P3D Parnall Hendy 302. Manufactured by Parnall & Co for Basil Henderson, it was his second design using his patented wing construction. Both the Hendy Hobo and the Hendy 302 were test flown and raced by Edgar Percival and when Percival bought the design rights he incorporated a lot of the Hendy 302 ideas into his Gull series, so this aircraft can be likened to being the progenitor of the Percival Gull, Vega Gull and Proctor. Only one was built but it was used as an engine test bed and had subsequent modifications. It was withdrawn from use in 1938. Designed for FS2004, it will portover to FSX and P3D, although there are texture shine problems and the usual non-click spots in P3D.
