The DH.93 Don was intended to be a trainer for pilots and radio operators, and as a gunnery trainer, the gunnery requirement involved the mounting of a dorsal gun turret.

Operational history
The prototype ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] L2387) first flew on 18 June 1937 and was transferred to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] for official evaluation.
In the course of the trials, more equipment was added which increased the weight, as a result, in an attempt to reduce weight, the dorsal turret was removed.
The aircraft was also modified with small auxiliary fins fitted beneath the tailplane.

Despite the changes incorporated from the fifth aircraft, the type was deemed not suitable for training and the original order for 250 aircraft was reduced to only 50 aircraft, 20 of which were delivered as engineless airframes for ground training.
The remaining aircraft served as communications and liaison aircraft, serving with No. 24 Sqn and numerous Station Flights throughout the UK until early 1939, but all had been grounded for use as instructional airframes by the time the war began.
