A de Havilland DH5 scout (fighter) aircraft (serial A197) of 68 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps (AFC) (renumbered as 2 Squadron, AFC from 19 January 1918) at an aerodrome in Lincolnshire, England, with an unidentified pilot seated in the cockpit and four others standing around. The legend painted down the right side of the DH5 scout indicates that it was a presentation aircraft, paid for by subscriptions and fund-raising in Australia. This particular aircraft, featuring the legend 'New South Wales No 15, The Upper Hunter', is a replacement for serial A9245, 'New South Wales no 16, The Upper Hunter Battleplane', which 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.
