It was developed from the Hawker Hart day-bomber introduced in 1931. Structural elements were a mixture of steel and duralumin, and the wings were fabric covered. The Hind was withdrawn from front-line squadrons by 1937, to be replaced by the Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim. It continued in use during World War II as an intermediate trainer, the next step up from basic training on Tiger Moths and the like. They were introduced in this role in 1938. 528 Hinds were built, being also operated by the RCAF & RNZAF and sold to Latvia, Persia (Iran), Portugal, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia.
