This Avro Avian was rescued from the fire dump at Ringway (Manchester Airport) shortly before it was to be burnt when members of the 'Merseyside Group of Aviation Enthusiasts' (MGAE) at Liverpool realised its historic significance. The Avro Avian, designed by Roy Chadwick, was built by A.V. Roe & Co., at their Newton Heath, Manchester factory. G-EBZM was initially flown during 1928, with its first C of A, number 1546, awarded 3rd August 1928

1st of type on AC !
Sir Edwin Alliott Verdon Roe OBE, Hon. FRAeS, FIAS (26 April 1877 – 4 January 1958) was a pioneer English pilot and aircraft manufacturer, and founder in 1910 of the Avro company.[2] After experimenting with model aeroplanes, he made flight trials in 1907–08 with a full size aeroplane at Brooklands, near Weybridge in Surrey, and became the first Englishman to fly an all-British machine a year later with a triplane on Walthamstow Marshes.
This replica was built by Avro apprentices in 1952
