This aircraft was discovered, along with another in derelict condition in India in the late 1990s. Despite having been built in huge numbers, very few survive. It has been superbly restored and is now airworthy, an incredible feat.

This historic aircraft was the first single-engine aircraft to fly from England to Australia, in 1920. The journey took an incredible 206 days, including two forced landings in the Middle East and a crash at Moulmein, Burma. The letters 'PD' are Parer & McIntosh's sponsor, Peter Dawson whiskey distillers. Built for the RAF as F1278 in 1918, the aircraft was purchased by the AWM for 250 pounds in 1922. Restored 1975-1990.

Built by Waring and Gillow, London, in 1918. The small titles on its upper fuselage read "A Battery 2nd Siege Artillery Reserve Brigade". The DH-9 was classed by the RFC and RAF as a light bomber.

Displayed in the AirSpace Museum, this is a recent, magnificent restoration of the aircraft which was found abandoned in India.

DH.9 day bomber built in 1918 under sub contract by Waring & Gillow. Sent to India at that time and returned to UK in recent years.

Prior to the move of the Musee de l'Air to Le Bourget many of the aircraft were stored and exhibited at Chalais Meudon. This marvellous 1918 built aircraft is seen on display there. It is in totally original condition.

This aircraft was completed in June 1918 and went to India after the end of WWI. It was found in an elephant stable in Rajasthan in the 1990s.
