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. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
