Roy Chadwick (Designer), Bert Hinkler and R. J. Parrott (General Manager of A. V. Roe & Company Ltd) with the prototype Avian prior to Hinkler's first solo flight between England and Australia. Leaving London (Croydon) on 7 February, he arrived at his home town of Bundaberg, Queensland, on 27 February. The flight took 128 flying hours and in the process Hinkler smashed the old record time between the two countries from 28 to just over 15 days.
