DAILY TELEGRAPH - 17th Nov., 1913,
"The spectators at Hendon were given a remarkable demonstration of the wonderful qualities of this fine 'Avro' Biplane whose splendid performance stamped it as one of the finest Aeroplanes ever designed, if not, indeed, the finest of all. One heard with great satisfaction that Raynham had set up t wo new records for the Aerodrome, having covered his fastest in 1 min 11 secs. and completed six laps in 7 mins. 27 secs, , .. . and this though the 'Avro' Biplane is a standardmachine designed for purposes of general utility and not primari ly for speed . "

ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE--1st Nov., 1913.
"Not only is the 'Avro' very fast - its speed cannot be much below 80 miles an hour-but its speed variation is enormous, as Raynham strikingly showed last Sunday, when switching off and on, but remaining in level flight while, he covered the aerodrome course at something like 30 miles an hour."
