VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a black and white photograph of a Hawker Hind biplane in flight, with clouds in the background suggesting it's at a significant altitude. The aircraft features an open cockpit design typical of its era, with fixed landing gear and external bracing wires between the wings for structural support. It appears to be well-maintained and is likely captured during active service or possibly during a demonstration flight. The caption below the image indicates that this particular model, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine, was supplied to the Swiss Government for fighting and dive bombing duties. This suggests that the aircraft was used not only for training purposes but also had an operational role within Switzerland's military aviation units. The text "FLIGHT" Photo Addn. " implies that this photo might have been published in or provided by 'Flight', which could refer to Flight International magazine—a publication dedicated to aerospace news—and "Addn. " may stand for additional information or addendum related to the content presented in this image.
