Design and development
The Hinaidi was an improved version of the Hyderabad, which had first appeared in 1923 and was built to meet Air Ministry Specification 13/29. The Hinaidi first flew on 26 March 1927 [1] and went into production as the Mk II after major structural modifications were implemented, the structure being changed from wooden to metal.
Operational history
The first 33 aircraft came into service in 1929[1], and were issued to No. 99, No. 10 and No. 503 squadrons. Total production ended with 36 aircraft, with some being converted to transport aircraft on the North-West Frontier in India. The Clive II transport version operated out of Lahore.
Variants
- HP.33 Hinaidi I
- Three built, one prototype as a conversion of a Hyderabad, two from new, with seven Hyderabads converted.
- HP.33 Clive I

- HP.35 Clive II
