The Avro 504 prototype first flew in 1913 and 63 of this model were
built before the Model 504A (50 built) was introduced, powered by an
80hp(60kW) Gnome. These aircraft were intended as trainers although some
saw service during World War 1 as light bombers and reconnaissance
aircraft. The Model 504B had a larger fin and the Model 504C was a
single seat version, as was the Model 504D. The Model 504J was powered
by various engines in the range 80hp(60kW) to 130hp (97kW). Eventually
all the Model 504’s were designated Model 504K regardless of engine
installation. More than 8000 examples were built and many hundreds were
sold on the civil market at the end of World War 1. Many were still
being used on joyriding flights until the late 1930’s. The Avro 504N
(678 built) was a conversion of existing Model 504K’s for service with
the RAF from 1925 as a trainer. It was powered by a 160hp(119kW)
Armstrong Siddeley and had a MTOW of 2240lb(1016kg). A small number of
Avro 504’s remain airworthy.
