J Serials Look Up Help

[Jagan]

I was wondering if forum members can shed some light on the final fates of the following Westland Wapiti. I have photographs of these aircraft from the 1930s (either 1934 or 1937) (All in No.1 IAF markings) but no subsequent information on what happened to them after that.

J 9400
J 9710
J 9722
J 9733
J 9843

Any help appreciated
