First registered 24.12.24 (C of A 1042/C of R 1226) as G-EBNF to A.V.Roe & Co Ltd., Newton Heath, Manchester, and donated to Lancashire Aero Club as an Avro 504R with Gnome Monosoupape engine. Blue fuselage, white letters, silver wings.
Re-registered (C of R 1486) 17.9.27 to A.V. Roe & Co Ltd., Newton Heath, Manchester, and based at Woodford, Cheshire. (CAA documentation gives the aircraft as an Avro "Gosport" Type 504R 2-seater biplane - indicating that it was built at Hamble, Hampshire, and not at Manchester). Re-registration came about because Avro gifted Avian III G-EBRR to the Lancashire Aeroplane Club in exchange for G-EBNF [which had been unpopular]
Written off 21.10.28 when crashed at Bramhall Park golf links, 20 Manor Road, Bramhall, Stockport, Cheshire after completing a loop. Crew was performing a test flight in the region of Woodford Aerodrome, south of Stockport. En route, he was forced to make an emergency landing for unknown reason. One of the two crew was killed, the other injured:
William Guy Ramsden (aged 33) died 25.10.28 (four days later) of injuries sustained
Ronald Edwin Henry Caldecott (pilot) injured.
Registration G-EBNF cancelled by the Air Ministry 9.1.1929 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl form use of aircraft"
