Avro 504K European Users, part two

Now's the time for the second part of the European users of the Avro 504K.


  • Ireland: The Irish Air Corps had six of them from 1922 until 1932. Further details are unknown.
  • Latvia: The Latvian air force adquired two Avro 504K in 1924 and 1925 which were active until 1930 when they were replaced by the German Udet U.12 Flamingo.
  • Norway: The Norwegian Army Air Service used some 504K apparently during the 1920 with a modified engine. Further details are, unknown.
  • Poland: The Polish Air Force had one in inventory during the 1920s. 
  • Russian Republic (Whites): Apparently one was used by the Slavonic-British Air Corps during the Northern Campaign of the Russian Civil War. Interestingly enough, it was used in the recon role, hence the observer machine-gun, instead in the training role.
