A de Havilland DH5 scout (fighter) aircraft (Serial A9245) of 68 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps (renumbered as No 2 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps from 19 January 1918) at an aerodrome in Lincolnshire, England, with an unidentified pilot in the cockpit and four others standing around. The legend painted down the right side of the DH5 scout that indicates it was a presentation aircraft, paid for by subscriptions and fund-raising in Australia. This particular aircraft, 'New South Wales no 16, The Upper Hunter Battleplane', was presented to 68 Squadron by the Upper Hunter District, NSW on 15 May 1917. Generally disliked by pilots for its lack of performance, vibration, and tendency to shed valves, the DH5 was being replaced by the SE5a by the end of 1917.
