	AVRO 504
		The AVRO 504K (shown in post-WWI Canadian colours) came in single-seat and double-seat forms, the two-seater was the most common.
		The AVRO 504 had the distinction of being the first Allied aircraft shot down in battle, and it made the first bombing run over Germany.
		Many new fighter pilots found the AVRO to be a revelation in aerial dynamics, having flown previously in the fragile Farmans, and the ponderous BE2cs.

	FlightDeck Milestones: Avro 504
		The original Avro 504 had been designed in 1913 by Sir Alliot Verdon-Roe, and entered the British Royal Flying Corps as a standard Service machine.
		Early in the war the 504 strafed the enemy and bombed the zeppelin sheds at Freidrichshafen, but it soon became clear it wasn't destined to compete with the faster, meaner planes then being rolled out, such as the Fokker E.III.
		Because of its ability to operate at the "extreme height" of 13,000 ft (3960 m) it was relegated to the role of anti-zeppelin patrol plane.

	Avro 504
		Construction of the 504 design began is April 1913 and the first flight tests were conducted at Brooklands in July 1913.
		After a rather undistinguished military career it was realized that the Avro 504K could be used, because of its flying characteristics, was well suited for use as a trainer aircraft.
		The Avro 504K was such a delight to fly that it laid the foundation for the development in England for logical flying instruction (i.e.

	Blue Max 1/48 Avro 504K, by Tom Cleaver
		His AVRO 504, which was first flown at Brooklands in July 1913, was the foundation stone of the later success of the A.V. Roe Company, which would include such immortals as the Lancaster and Vulcan bombers.
		By 1915, the Avro 504 was only used in combat operations in secondary fronts like the Middle East, and the airplane found its true calling as a trainer, with 4,800 employed in this role in the U.K. during the course of the war.
		The Avro 504 was to Great Britain what the Jenny was to the United States in creating air mindedness in the 1920s, with Aerial Derbies and Air Traffic Exhibitions expanding throughout the country during the post-war years.

		The dinner was so successful that it was decided that they should form themselves into the Avro 504 Club and subscribe to a trophy to be presented to the best Avro apprentice on completion of training.

	Avro 504: Australian War Memorial
		Built by the firm A. Roe, the 504 was a two-seater multi-purpose biplane, first produced in 1913.
		Stable and easy to fly, the 504 was used by the Royal Flying Corps during the period 1914-15 in reconnaissance and light bombing roles.
		Its average performance meant that by 1915 it was obsolete as a front-line combat aircraft, but it was used subsequently as a very successful training aircraft.

	Avro 504
		The Avro 504 began development in late 1912, and first flew in July 1913, and was in service at the start of the first world war, serving with both the RFC and the RNAS.
		The RNAS used the 504 as a strategic bomber early in the war, starting with a raid on the Zeppelin sheds at Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance (21 November 1914), where a lucky strike on the gas plant caused most damage, but later raids did little damage.
		The 504 was adopted in the same role by the RAF, and after the end of the war it's use spread to most commonwealth airforces, as well as Russia and Japan.

	AVRO 504 J
		The Avro 504 was one of the most versatile and long-lived military aircraft in aviation history.
		Roe built the prototype of the 504 in 1912, two years before the outbreak of the World War I. Aviation historians have written glowingly of the 504, describing it as "superlatively sensitive, graceful and obedient." It was simple and light, yet strong and well balanced.
		As a fighter plane, the Avro 504 remained operational right up to the end of World War I. And its life as a trainer was even longer, for it was still being used as the standard training aircraft by the Royal Air Force as late as 1933.

		Developed from the original Avro 504 of 1913, the 504k differed from the earlier training variants by having modified engine bearers which allowed it to be fitted with a variety of rotary engines.
		Pilots were trained on the 504k and the Avro 504J, using Major Smith Barry's methods of systematic flying instruction which developed at the school of Special Flying at Gosport during the first world war.
		Although always known as a training aircraft Avro 504k's were also used as a emergency home defence fighter operating against German aircraft raiders.

		The importance of this result, and an average recorded speed of 66.5 mph, was that the Avro 504 was an untried prototype.
		This was of a similar size to the Avro 504 (38 feet wing span as against 36 feet, and 28’ 6" long as against 29’ 5"), and was also powered by one of the new 80 hp Gnome engines.
		The 504 established Avro as a successful aircraft manufacturer, saw extensive use both during the Great War and afterwards, and was still in production fifteen years later with a total of over 10 000 built.

	Aircraft: Avro 504k
		The Avro 504 was the first aircraft (type) to be used to strafe troops on the ground, and it also has the dubious honour of being the first British aircraft to have been shot down by enemy ground fire.
		While the type was relatively maneuverable, and flew well, better aircraft soon replaced the 504 in combat, and it was relegated to the role of standard trainer, where it remained for the duration of the war.
		The 504 also had the edge over the Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny' used in the USA, as it was fitted with a rotary engine (which the Jenny was not), and made training pilots for rotary fighters much easier.

		The Avro 504 series of planes were first developed in 1913 as reconnaissance and bombing aircraft, but Major R. Smith-Barry developed the 504J as a trainer.
		The two-seater biplane was a very effective trainer because the 504 had many of the attributes of single-seater fighter aircraft, which were difficult for the novice pilot to learn.
		The Avro 504 had a skid that was attached to the middle of its landing gear.

	Middleton Guardian - In tribute to our war winning Avro
		The AVRO company was set up by Alliot Verdon Roe, son of Dr Edwin Hodson Roe of Patricroft, and the fascinating story of this man and his company is well documented in a book written by local author Harry Holmes, and entitled AVRO.
		During the 1920's and 30's a factory at Newton Heath served AVRO well, producing famous aircraft such as the Avian, Tutor and Anson, but in 1938 it was announced by the government that it would built a new large factory on Greengate.
		AVRO's dynamic duo, managing director Roy Dobson and technical director and chief designer Roy Chadwick, decreed that the plant should be twice the size of other aircraft factories.
