The 529 and the 529A were developed from the Avro 523 Pike to a Royal Naval Air Service requirement for a long-range bomber. None of the aircraft, the 523, 529 nor 529A, went into production. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Confusingly, the Manchester II preceded the Mk1 due the unavailability of the intended ABC Dragonfly radial engine for the first aircraft. The project was cancelled without entering production. Avro photo. Photo from: Civil Aviation Historical Society, Melbourne, Australia

The unregistered protototype Baby shortly before its first flight on 30 April 1919 from Hamble, when it spun in on the nearby foreshore because the pilot cut the ignition switches inadvertently. Parts used in construction of a second example K-131, later G-EACQ and G-AUCQ. The latter is the sole survivor of the type, exhibited in a Brisbane museum. From Avro 60 years ago.

The sole Avenger biplane in its initial Type 566 configuration. First flew from Avro's Hamble airfield on 26 June 1926. Converted to Type 567 standard in 1928.
