AVRO AVIAN

Title: Avro Avian

The Avro Avian was a series of light aircraft built by Avro during the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. It was designed by Roy Chadwick, later the designer of the Lancaster, and the initial version which had a wooden fuselage first flew in 1926. The prototype was sold to Bert Hinkler who used the aircraft for a number of long-range flights culminating in a 15 day solo flight from England to Australia.

Later versions used a steel tube fuselage and more powerful engines, and while a successful aircraft with many export sales, it was comprehensively outsold by its De havilland Moth rival. Just over 400 were produced.
