Мировая Авиация 109

Самолет Type D, созданный в 1911 году, оказался очень удачным. Поплавковый вариант этой машины совершил первый в Британии взлет с воды 18 ноября. Доработанный Type D принимал участие в гонке на приз газеты "Daily Mail".

The Avro Type D was a significant advance for Roe and heralded the advent of a great line of Avro biplanes. Pilot C. Howard Pixton is at the controls here. Note the extended undercarriage skids to prevent the aircraft nosing over.

Round about 1910, A. V. Roe returned once more to Brooklands, where, backed by the experience gained from his early efforts, he constructed a number of successful machines. One of these, this time a biplane, of 1911, is shown, and it was from this that the famous 504 was developed.

Frederick Raynham was born in Suffolk on July 15, 1893, and after working with J.V. Neale at Brooklands from late 1909, joined A.V. Roe, also at Brooklands, in 1911. Raynham’s Royal Aero Club Certificate, No 85, carries the same date, May 9, 1911, as that of Ronald Kemp, with whom Raynham later established the Air Survey Co Ltd.

Sippe at the controls of the Avro Type D seaplane at Cavendish Dock, Barrow-in-Furness, in April 1912. The series of flights Sippe made from the water that month proved the feasibility of marine aircraft. Sippe joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1914 and participated that November in a famous bombing raid on Friedrichshafen.

The family tree: These six sketches ot early types show quite clearly the natural evolution which culminated in the 504, the type which laid the foundation of the greatness of the house of Avro
