Avro серий 618 Ten, 619 Five, 624 Six и 642 Eighteen
Avro серии 618 Ten появился в результате лицензионного соглашения 1928 года на выпуск в Британии очень удачного трехмоторного авиалайнера Fokker F.VIIB-3m. Соглашение "Avro" с "Fokker" позволило британской компании продавать самолет в странах Британского Содружества, кроме Канады. Название Ten ("Десять") было принято, чтобы отразить, что самолет вмещает двух членов экипажа и восемь пассажиров.
После небольших изменений конструкции фюзеляжа Ten показали на авиационной выставке 1929 года в Олимпии, позднее он стал первой из пяти машин, проданной авиакомпании "Australian National Airways". Еще две купила фирма "Queensland Air Navigation Co. Ltd". Последний из уцелевших в Австралии самолетов в 1941 году эвакуировал людей с Новой Гвинеи. Несмотря на проявленный "героизм", самолет вскоре списали.
Пять машин серии 618 Ten продали британским авиакомпаниям: по два - фирмам "Imperial Airways" и "Airwork" и один - фирме "Midland & Scottish Air Ferries".
Последний серийный Ten в июле 1936 года попал в звено по испытанию беспроводной связи авиационного оборудования Королевского НИИ авиации, позже на нем установили однолонжеронное крыло.
