A de Havilland DH5 scout (fighter) aircraft (serial A9395) of 68 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps (renumbered as No 2 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps from 19 January 1918) at an aerodrome in Lincolnshire, England. 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 14, The Women's Battle Plane', replaced an earlier aircraft, serial A9242, which was presented to 68 Squadron by 'The Women of NSW and Others' on 12 April 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.
