It is one of two Hinds discovered in open store with the Afghanistan Air Force and which were donated by the Afghan Goverment to the British Government and brought back to the United Kingdom for preservation. The other airplane is with the Royal Air Force museum at Hendon, and sports Afghan Air Force colours. It was brought back from Afghanistan overland with the help of the Ford Motor Company, and was restored to full flying condition at Old Warden in the colours of 15 Squadron, and where it now performs regularly to delight visitors with its special V12 engine note reverbrating around the airfield.
