Heading picture shows the author sitting atop of his own Avro 504K, G-AAEZ, during the brief period that he traded as Aeroplane Services Ltd in 1929.
Avro 504K G-AAAF was bought in September 1928 and remained with the company until August 1933. After numerous subsequent owners the aircraft was burnt at Gatwick in 1939.
Avro 504K G-ABHI flew with Cornwall Aviation from April 1932 until January 1934, when it was withdrawn from use.
The Cornwall Aviation Company’s first aircraft was this red and white Avro 504K, purchased in May 1924.
