    THREE for EXPORT


    Illustrated with Flight Photographs

    HE uppermost view on this page shows a Hawker Hind destined for Yugoslavia. This machine differs from the standard R . A . F . Hind in t h a t it is fitted with the RollsRoyce Kestrel XVI (690 h . p . at 11,000 ft.) which is provided with a central air intake forward of the radiator and a cylindrical oil cooler mounted in a trough on the starboard side of the cowling. A very high performance should be obtained in view of the fact t h a t the standard R . A . F . Hind does about 200 m.p.h. with a 600 h . p . Kestrel. In the second view a number oi features of the Gloster Gladiator may be seen to advantage. This machine is of a

    type which has aroused great interest in the export market. The engine is a Mercury I X and four guns are fitted. The lower view shows a Portuguese Hind just after taking off from Brooklands. This model has a Kestrel V engine and is similar to the machines which equip several R . A . F . Squadrons. The Hind is eminently suitable as a bomber (dive bombing being a speciality, as demonstrated in the R . A . F . Display), fighter or reconnaissance machine. The top speed is about 200 m.p.h.
