Abstract: We investigate the family of surfaces defined by the affine equation ${\displaystyle }$Y^2 + Z^2 = (aT^2 + b)(cT^2 +d)${\displaystyle }$ where $vertad-bcvert=1$ and develop an asymptotic formula for the frequency of Hasse principle failures. We show that a positive proportion (roughly 23.7%) of such surfaces fail the Hasse principle, by building on previous work of la Bret`{e}che and Browning.
