G-AUEO  Avro 504K                                  (c/n  AAEC/4)

                              

                                   Because of a shortage of the original Monosoupape engines, Avro redesigned the 504J to be
                                   adaptable for a variety of engines.  The resultant machine was the 504K.  This one had a 100 hp
                                   Sunbeam Dyak, although at least six different engines powered 504K models flying in Australia,
                                   including one with a Hispano-Suiza.  G-AUEO is seen here in this shot from the John Oxley

                                   appears never to have been registered after that, although the remains went through several
                                   ownership changes, and as late as 1937 was listed as being owned by a C.W. Smallwood of
