All in all about 1420 Hampden bombers have been built, some of them were delivered to the Soviet Union; additional Hampden bombers were exported to the Royal Australian Air Force, the Air Force of New Zea land and to the Flygvapnet, the Air Force of Sweden. [2][3]Hampden Mk IThe Handley Page HP.52 Hampden was a British twin-engine medium bomber of the Royal Air Force serving in the Second World War. With the Whitley and Wellington, the Hampden bore the brunt of the early bombing war over Europe, taking part in the first night raid on Berlin and the first 1,000-plane raid on Cologne. The newest of the three medium bombers, the Hampden, known as the "Flying Suitcase" because of its cramped crew conditions, was still unsuited to the modern air war and, after operating mainly at night, it was retired from Bomber Command service in late 1942. The Hampden bomber was serving in the RAF when war broke out in 1938. The Hampden was used to bomb German cities and air fields at night because they couldn't fly very high. Luftwaffe pilots knew the bombers were much like their own, only more slab-sided. Because of this odd appearance, they called them "Suitcases."
