The Avro 504 was a British designed aircraft that served primarily as a training aircraft during and after World War 1. It was manufactured in many countries after the war and eventually more than eleven thousand were made.

The Avro 504 began as a light bomber with the prototype first flying on 18 September 1913. In the early days of World War 1 they flew as bombers but were soon obsolete as frontline aircraft.

They came into their own as a trainer aircraft and 8,340 had been produced by the end of the war. Production continued after the war and eventually 11,303 were made.

Over sixty Avro 504s belonged to the Royal Australian Air Force and its predecessors from 1919. Several more were flown in Australia by civil companies including QANTAS.

They remained commonplace in Australia through the early 1920s with the final one being withdrawn from RAAF service in 1929.

This model represents A3-10 in service with 1FTS, RAAF, in late 1927.
