John Hampden, Civil War-era Parliamentary leader famous for his opposition to Charles I over ship money, died 1643 from wounds sustained in a skirmish with Royalists. In the early 19th c., British radicals named their debating societies ‘Hampden Clubs’ in his honour.

24 June 1643 John Hampden died of his wounds sustained days before at the Battle of Chalgrove Field. His loss was a severe blow to the Parliamentarian cause, as he was a moderating force between the various factions in Parliament.

The Handley-Page Hampden has always fascinated me, an early WW 2 RAF medium bomber, with a very narrow fuselage. This earned it the nickname, the'Flying Suitcase', but it had a certain 'grace' and apparently very flew well. Check out the contemporary cutaway drawing from 1940.
