Realising that I couldn’t remember what the pre-war Hawker Hart-family airframes were that surfaced near Kabul a few years ago made me wonder just how many Hart derivatives there were?
Off the top of my head:
Hart
Hart Trainer
Hind
Audax
Hector
Demon
Osprey (? – a navalised version, anyway)
Plus, no doubt, various intersting variations for export with different engines – eg, if I were only talking Furies, the Yugoslav Fury. (Note – this is because I cannot remember any Hart family examples, so Fury will have to do)
What have I forgotten?

Hartebees, Hardy..
Yep, Hardy popped into my head as I was walking back from town. Grr! Hartebees – South African variant with a name like that?

Possibly my favourite type (or family of types) of the period.
