100 years of the RAF
Pictured are Westland Wapitis of 28 Squadron operating from a barren airfield at Gilgit, Kashmir, one of the British militaries most remote outposts between the wars.
The Westland Wapiti was a British two-seat general-purpose military single-engine biplane of the 1920s. It was designed and built by Westland Aircraft Works to replace the Airco DH.9A in Royal Air Force service.
First flying in 1927, the Wapiti entered service with the RAF in 1928, and remained in production until 1932, a total of 565 being built. It equipped twenty squadrons of the RAF, both overseas (particularly in India and Iraq) and at home, remaining in RAF service until 1940, also being used by the Air Forces of Australia, Canada, South Africa and India. It also formed the basis for the Westland Wallace which partly replaced the Wapiti in RAF use.
