Built in 1918, and preserved in its original, unrestored condition.

This magnificent aircraft is in totally original condition, unrestored and all the better for it. It was built in London in 1918 by Waring and Gillow who were well known high-quality British Furniture makers. The DH-9 was derived from the earlier DH-4 and with a more powerful engine. This type inaugurated cross-English Channel postal services in late 1918.

On display in the Musee de l'Air

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.

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.
