| craven menlo park, CA | The menlo park Hanriot HD1 was indeed finished and flown many times. It was donated to the Hendon museum where it was recovered and put on display. It was also the same plane that went to the Paris Air show 1973. 02/01/2012 @ 17:40 [ref: 52387] |

| jon nelson tracy, CA | Back when I was about 14 or so my brother met a guy that was restoring an HD-1 in his garage in Menlo park or Palo alto I can't remember for sure. We went over to his house to have a look. I'll never forget all the parts and pieces scattered about in boxes and all over the floor. He even had many pieces of the original covering material. I've often wondered if he ever finished it. Jon 12/09/2007 @ 07:47 [ref: 18855] |
| Robert West , CA | It looks like they have cleaned up the plane. When I was there it was covered in dust which made it look like it should... old. Now it looks like a plastic kit model. 09/27/2006 @ 17:05 [ref: 14306] |
| Juan Rodriguez Quito, Pichincha, AL | There is an HD-1 here in Quito, Ecuador as well. It is the Telegrafo, which Elia Liut flew in 1920 from the city of Guayaquil to the city of Cuenca, the first flight in the Ecuadorian Andes. The Telegrafo is a Macchi Hanriot HD-1, and it is in the Museo Aereonautico de la FAE (Ecuadorian Air Force) here in Quito. 12/02/2005 @ 18:00 [ref: 11863] |
| Philippe Cantinaux Brussels (Brussels) Belgium, OTH | 5 HD-1 survive today, 2 in the USA and 3 in Europe.
The 3 European survivors are : - in Hendon (UK) : in the RAF Museum. This is ex Belgian AF HD-75 (later H-1) - in Brussels (Belgium) : in the Space & Air Museum. This is HD-78 of the Belgian pilot Jan Olieslager. Folowing sources, Belgium received between 79 and 125 HD-1. - in Dübbendorf (Switzerland) : in the Swiss AF Museum. It is one of the 16 Italian HD-1 bought by Switzerland after the WW1. Apart this countries, an ex-Italian AF HD-1 was also used as trainer by the Venezuelan AF in 1920-23.

| Eric Kirby Zürich, MA | The Hanriot with the black heart,candles, skull and crossbones, was indeed used by Charles Nungesser for his barnstorming tour of the US, sometime before his untimely death trying to win the prize for being the first to cross the atlantic before Lindberg ! There is an original Hanriot HD1 in military colors, all brown, hanging in the Swiss military museum in Dübendorf. Switz. in mint condition! 09/23/2002 @ 09:05 [ref: 5740] |
| Dany van Leefdaal Brussels, DC | Indeed, an HD-1 is on display at the Brussels Aeronautics and Space Museum. It shows a pattern of green and white stripes (bright colours were not uncommon during WW1; the idea was to let the opponent know who he was dealing with...), with a white thistle and Latin inscription \"Nemo me impune lacessit\" (no-one will harm me unpunished). Both are still Belgium\'s most famous air force squadron symbols today. Belgian all times top ace Willy Coppens (37 kills) did fly the HD-1, but this one belonged to Jan Olieslagers (6 recognised kills, but certainly more).
I saw another HD-1, also bearing Belgian markings, at the Hendon RAF-Museum near London several years ago. The black coffin and skull (on a white aircraft) David McGuire refers to, was the emblem of French ace Nungesser; he never flew an HD-1 though. 07/03/2002 @ 17:23 [ref: 5235] |
| Andrew Gowty , OTH | There was a Hanriot HD1 on display in the Aviation section of the Royal Belgian Army Museum in Brussels.
A photo appeared in Air International February 1979. The plane was painted green and brown with grey undersides and a thistle symbol on the fuselage. 07/14/2001 @ 21:06 [ref: 2670] |
| David McGuire SF, CA | Hanriot was flown by Willi Coppens, was it not? He had his painted up with
a coffin, with burning candles and skull & crossbones. Painted black? 08/27/2000 @ 16:34 [ref: 670] |
