Technical

REPRESENTS ULTIMATE DEVELOPMENT OF MILITARY BI-PLANE CONFIGURATION The Hawker Hind was developed from the fast and beautiful Hawker Hart. Prior to the delivery of the new Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim, the Hind was an interim replacement light bomber in the RAF. Although most Hinds were two-seater bombers, some were fitted with dual controls and used for pilot training. Production ceased in 1938 after 528 were built. Most of the freshly trained bomber pilots of the mid-to-late 1930s began squadron life flying Hawker Hinds. The last biplane light bomber flown by the RAF, the Hind had vanished from first-line and even auxiliary squadrons by 1939.
