The Handley Page HPR.7 Dart Herald is a British turboprop passenger aircraft, designed in the 1950s as a DC-3 replacement, but only entering service in the 1960s by which time it faced stiff competition from Fokker and Avro. Sales were disappointing, contributing in part to the demise of Handley Page in 1970.
