First of two Actives built by Messrs Thornton & Oddy of the Arrow Aircraft Company, Leeds. This was its first public demonstration, pilot was Flt Lt C.B.Wincott. Written off (destroyed) 30 Dec 1935 when it crashed in flames at Marshchapel, East Lindsay, eleven miles south east of Grimsby, Lincolnshire following an engine fire while performing aerobatics. Pilot/owner Alex Henshaw bailed out safely, although he had to "dodge" the Arrow Active as it spiralled into the ground on fire, the aircraft at one point crossing Henshaw's descent path.

The Avro 627 Mailplane was developed in 1931 by Avro from the Avro Antelope bomber as a mail plane for use in Canada. Only one was built which, following trials in Canada, was returned to England. The Mailplane was converted in 1933 into a high-speed test bed for the Armstrong Siddeley Tiger engine, the revised aircraft being known as the Avro 654. Dismantled at Woodford in 1934.
