WINGLEADER ARCHIVE PUBLIC DATABASE

A rare photo of HK832 which was used for casualty evacuation and air sea rescue in the Middle East by various units. During its life, it sported several paint schemes, this one is believed to be overall black with red codes. The nose art shows a stork carrying a pilot in a dinghy and might have been filled in with colour later on, although the aircraft was lost in May 1943, probably not long after this photo was taken.
