Description
The Avro 504K was used as an elementary trainer by Nos 5, 6, 7, and 8 (Training) Squadrons Australian Flying Corps (AFC) at Minchinhampton and Leighterton in England during World War I. After World War I, the 504K, 20 of which were ordered in 1918 and another 35 were received as part of the Imperial Gift, became an important part of the newly-formed RAAF's operational capability throughout the 1920s. The Imperial Gift was Britain's donation of aeroplanes and equipment to the Dominions in 1919 to establish air forces. The Central Flying School (CFS) at Point Cook operated the 504Ks.

The dark background really brings out the details in the wings,
Things have sure changed over the years--it's a wonder these got off the ground. Great shot and wonderful lighting.
wonderful photo!!
Very crisp!! Top marks for this.
Stunning capture my friend.
Nice to see no clunky great barriers blocking your shots here! Good one! A fine trainer, still in use right into the late 1930's.. Excellent shot! Rob
superb detail in my completely non technical way, i wonder how it ever got off the ground
Fantastic capture of this unique looking plane. It looks like the wings are just a tad too small for the body
interesting machine and explain, hughs.
Love it! Clive
