FLIGHT, MAFCH 21, 192S AND THE NAME OF ALL THESE WAS AVRO One morning, early, some twenty-one years ago, an aeroplane rose uncertainly into the air. It didn't stay there very long. Just long enough to make history. For until that moment nothing British had ever before left the ground. It was an Avro. Three years later a seaplane made itself famous in just the same way. It was an Avro. In 1917 the first aeroplane was evolved in which scien- tific flying instruction became possible. It was an Avro. A year later, the R.A. F. were able to use for the first time one type of machine and one only for training pilots. This machine has been standard training equip- ment in the R.A.F. ever since. It was an Avro. In 1919 the owner-flyer appeared ; the first modern light aeroplane took the air, and has, so to speak, stayed there ever since. It was an Avro. Last year, light aeroplanes flew in record time from London to Berlin, from London to Australia, and from London to Capetown. They were Avros. AVRO A. V. ROE & CO.
