The results of analysis of HST I−band imaging of a sample of 41 radio galaxies spanning three orders of magnitude in radio luminosity at redshift z ≃ 0.5 are presented. These results represent the first stage in a coordinated programme to study the connection between radio luminosity and host-galaxy properties, black-hole masses and cluster environments in radio galaxies spanning a wide range in radio luminosity over a restricted range in redshift. The full sample is comprised of objects drawn from four complete, low-frequency selected radio samples with progressively fainter flux-density limits (3CRR, 6CE, 7CRS and the new TexOx-1000 sample). Modelling of the HST imaging data shows that the host galaxies have surface-brightness distributions con
