Avro 504N - African & Asian users

On this second part of the 504N, we're covering both African and Asian users of it.

The South African Air Force employed some of them in order to replace the previous 504K versions. Unlickly, further details about the duration of their service period, and so on are unknown, so the drawing too, should be taken as speculative.

The Royal Thai Air Force, bought some 504N to equip their trainer squadrons. The served alongside the bomber Martin B-10 and the fighter Boeing P-12, so they served, most probably during the mid-to-early 1930s and were replaced by the De Havilland Tiger Moth.
