The Avro 504L seaplane, a former WW1 wooden trainer was widely used
The Avro 504L seaplane, a former WW1 wooden trainer was widely used, mostly with a wheeled undercarriage, by numerous companies and individuals for joy riding from 1919 through to the mid 1930s.
The Avro 504 was the aircraft type in which so many people had their first flight. The picture was taken in the Isle of Wight during August 1919 where Captain F. Warren-Merriman was flying one of a large fleet operated by the Avro Transport Co.
After landing his seaplane by the coast, some interested female bathers decided to get a closer view of Captain Memmans plane.
Captain Merriman returned the complement by taking one of the bathers for a short flight in the craft.
