Summary edit

Description

c/n 21414. Built in 1917, this beautiful DH9 was one of a pair recovered from an elephant shed in India. In the more than capable hands of Aero Vintage / Retrotech, the first machine was restored for the Imperial War Museum and is on static display in Duxfords 'AirSpace' hangar. This second machine has now been restored to a stunning and airworthy condition which will hopefully soon see her back in the air. This will be a truly amazing site! Her first public appearance (static, of course) was at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at RAF Fairford in July 2017, after which she was moved to Duxford and reassembled. She now sits in Hangar 3, which is also the home of the rest of the Historic Aircraft Collection fleet. Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK.
