This was the first two Pikas that were manned aerodynamic test aircraft for the Jindivik drone. C-1, which was also A93-1, was written off on April 5, 1951 in forced landing due to compressor stall. A second Pika, C-2/A93-2, is preserved at the RAAF Museum. The Pika used small side engine intakes with the pilot sitting in what would be the intake area of the drone.
