Hawker Audax I * Retired *
4 Audax I aircraft obtained from the Royal Air Force in late 1938, (ferried from the RAF base at Heliopolis, Egypt). The Audaxes wore their SR serials in addition to their RAF serials. Operated by the Southern Rhodesia Air Unit. Used for the army co-operation/light bomber role initially, then relegated to the advanced training role. Absorbed into RAF service April 1940. A version of the Audax, the Hartbees was used by the RATG during WW2, but did not enter SRAF service. Note: Delivery dates of 1 Nov 1940 have been quoted for these aircraft, but this would mean the aircraft were delivered after they are recorded as deploying to Kenya for the start of World War Two. Presumably the November 1940 date is some sort of paperwork exercise. Aircraft which were delivered to the the SRAF, but did not receive 'SR' serials include K7420 and K7546.
