Access to Avro records

Martin,
There are too many to list and the listings seemed to have been compiled from other equally innacurate lists. A few examples Cadet 6 (the C had been dropped by this time) accident was 23 March 1942, Cadet 7 was not sold until !947. No mention of the sole SE5, incorrect serials listed for various aircraft, eg the serial listed for Seafire 154 is actually a cancelled Lancaster contract, Gladiator Hinds Hectors etc fates are incorrect. The aircraft 141/2/3 are Avro XIX series1 and not Anson 19, The Avro 621 (Mongoose engine ) was never referred to as a Tutor in IAC service and so on. That is why I am asking about primary sources.

Agreed!

What do you mean with ‘not fully accurate‘?

Hi Tony,

A bit of confusion on this one, C7 made a test flight on the 28/08/1934, the aircraft having been assembled and rigged, the pilot is unknown however the aircraft had been signed off by a Cpl Curran.
The exact date of delivery is unknown; however there is evidence that it may have been a considerable time before the above date. The next flight was on 26th March 1935, when the aircraft was flown by a Lt Keane for 35 minutes.

Sadly Jackson’s book is of no help in this case as he generally refers to C of A issue dates. As ‘C7’ was regarded as a foreign order, no C of A was issued. However hopefully with more research more of the aircrafts history can be uncovered!

Regards

Eric
