These films were made by a RAF pilot during their operations in Waziristan to quelch the insurrecting villages. Great flying using Hawker Audax.

Good looking aircraft. It makes me wonder how quickly they'll regress when we pull out.

For a society that fights tooth and nail to remain in the 12th century? Not long at all
