The Avro 504 was a World War I biplane aircraft made by A.V. Roe and Company Ltd (AVRO) Manchester, and under licence by others. Production during the War totalled 8,970 and continued for almost 20 years, making it the most-produced aircraft of any kind that served in World War I, in any military capacity, during that conflict.
Over 10,000 were built from 1913 to the time production ended in 1932.
They were also used as passenger, exhibition and joyriding aeroplanes during the 1920s and 1930s. From May 1919 Avro 504K biplanes were used on Britain's first scheduled airline service from Blackpool to Southport and Manchester.
