The unregistered protototype Baby shortly before its first flight on 30 April 1919 from Hamble, when it spun in on the nearby foreshore because the pilot cut the ignition switches inadvertently. Parts used in construction of a second example K-131, later G-EACQ and G-AUCQ. The latter is the sole survivor of the type, exhibited in a Brisbane museum. From Avro 60 years ago.
