On display at RAFM Hendon. It was one of 18 aircraft to be financed by the Nizam of Hyderabad. Being the 13th aircraft, it was numbered 12A and allotted to No. 110 (Hyderabad) Sqn. The Sqn moved to France in Aug 1918 as a day bomber unit. While attacking a German town, F1010 was force landed behind enemy lines on 5 Oct 1918. In 1936 the DH9 was displayed in a museum in Berlin, which was heavily damaged in Nov 1943 in a RAF night raid. The remaining aircraft were sent to Czarnkow, which captured by Polish forces in 1945. The DH9 was exchanged for a Spitfire during the Cold War.

A production Airco De Havilland D.H.9A - E8407, fitted with a Liberty engine. The D.H.9A was a single-engine light bomber and this type was used towards the end of WWI. This copy of the image is an official wet stamped reprint by British Aerospace (No 22022B), date and photographer unknown.

E873 - D.H. 9A - was originally flown by No 39 Squadron in 1923. This original Whitehead Aircraft Company built D.H.9A was shipped to the Middle East in 1924 where it was fitted with an auxiliary radiator at the Hinaidi Aircraft Depot. It is shown here with No 84 Squadron flying from Shaibah in 1926, it is equipped for night flying and carrying a spare main wheel.

DH9As continued in service into the 1930s as light bombers

A1-25 is towed ashore after ditching in Sydney Harbour, presumably due to engine failure. It was based at nearby RAAF Richmond. The water-logged aircraft was "converted to components" soon after. A1-25 had been part of the Imperial Gift, a collection of over 100 aircraft from the RAF to help form the RAAF. Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa also received Imperial Gifts.

Since the recent reorganization of the RAF Museum this DH-9 has been put on top of the exhibition in the new, but very dark entrance hall.

This light bomber was used at the end of WWI but with poor results due to it being underpowered and by 1920 they had been withdrawn from RAF service. Many were then gifted to Commonwealth countries. The nose carries the legend 'Presented by His Highness the Nizam of Hyderabad. Hyderabad No12a.' During WWI a whole Squadron, No 152, had been gifted to the RAF by the Nizam.
