03/31/2008. This was Hawker's first all-metal aircraft, built as a private venture it was first flown by Group-Captain P.W.S. Bulman (Hawker's Chief Test Pilot 1925-1945) in early 1925. Carrying the military s/n J6989 it was shown at the RAF Hendon Display in June 1925.

After trials at Martlesham Heath in 1926 it was returned to Hawker and registered G-EBYC. Damaged in a taxiing incident at RAF Hendon in July 1928, but although repaired it apparently never flew again and was deregistered in January 1930.
