Any Hawker Hind News?

As above, really! Does anyone have any interesting snippets of news regarding the Hinds imported from Afghanistan some years ago?
Thanks in anticipation!

You clearly have a connection with India and I would love to know what it is. As well as a Hind, I would like to see an Audax. Peter.

The problems with restoring this kind of aircraft may be why there has been little in the way of news.

I haven’t heard anything on the restoration of the Hinds, but the website was still up & running the last time I checked.

I did hear from a friend of mine that some of the spare airframe etc parts have been/are being incorperated into other Hawker projects to make them look viable.

I looked at the website but there is no news there at all

Sorry, no news but I can let you know that when I win the Euro Millions (and it will have to be a multiple roll over) I’ll be rebuilding one Hind and recreating a Hart (India). Now where did I leave that naturally aspirated Kestrel…hmmm I may have a plan there.

I’d be tempted to saw a Hind in half and make a Fury!
