Iconic Aviation Ad Avro Napier 1924

AVRO Leads Again!

The machine illustrated is the 1000 HP Avro-Napier Bomber.

It is the most powerful single engined aeroplane in the world and was designed and constructed by A.V.Roe & Co Ltd of Manchester, London and Southampton.

The 1000 HP Avro-Napier Bomber, which has proved so successful in flight marks another step forward in aviation. Never before has a machine with such a high powered engine taken to the air successfully. It is significant that this aeroplane was designed and constructed by A.V.Roe and Co Ltd, and it is a great tribute to their organisation and resources.

This bomber is a further development of the AVRO Aldershot which won the Handicap at the RAF Pageant, 1922. It is fitted with dula control, and the whole of it with the exception of certain parts of the wings, is constructed of metal. The wings are designed to fold back so as to economise space when the machine has to be stored.

A.V.Roe and Co Ltd, invite enquiries for information concerning the building of machines for special purposes, or for the supply of AVRO standard aeroplanes or seaplanes.
