Lyle Bryson Bedford, NS | As a freshly minted Aeronautical Engineer serving with the Canadian Air Force, I had the pleasure of working on the reconstruction of three (3) full scale flying replicas of the Avro 504K at No. 6 Repair Depot, Trenton Ontario. The aircraft flew in 72 Air Shows during Canada's Centennial Year of 1967. The Aviation Museum at Rockcliff in Ottawa has one Museum piece and I believe they still have one in flying condition. 05/15/2007 @ 14:27 [ref: 16491] |

Alex Fasolilli Herkimer, NY | The Avro was initially used to train pilots. The purpose of the skid was to prevent the aircraft from nosing over in case of a groundloop, landing gear failure, etc... 09/19/2004 @ 08:39 [ref: 8294] |
