First flown in 1930 and registered as G-ABMR in May 1931 for use by Hawkers as a civilian demonstrator. Later used as an engine testbed, photo platform and company hack until withdrawn from use in 1946. Flown again between May 1949 and September 1959 at which time the civilian registration was cancelled and it took up military marks. Flown at various events as "J9933" and from October 1963 as "J9941" until finally withdrawn from flying in 1971. Transferred to the RAF Museum at Hendon, the aircraft underwent some restoration at Cardington in the mid 1980s. This photo was added on 21 April 2023, and has since been viewed 361 times. |
