Description générale

Unlike earlier Avians, whose fuselages were constructed of wood, the IVM’s fuselage is made of steel tube. The "M" in the designation stands for "Metal". Most of the components used in Canadian-assembled Avians were manufactured in England, but some of the wing and tail surfaces were made by the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Co.

Période

The Museum's specimen was delivered to the RCAF in April, 1930. Ownership was transferred in 1932 to the Moose Jaw Flying Club, in 1935 to the Winnipeg Flying Club, and in 1937 to a private owner. After being stored during Second World War, this Avian was sold to the donor who bequeathed the aircraft to the museum.

Canada

Originally built as a light sporting aircraft, the Avro Avian was also useful as a trainer to civil operators and some Commonwealth air forces. In Canada, civil Avians were used by many flying clubs and bush operators, while the 30 or so supplied to the RCAF were flown little and used mainly as instructional airframes or passed on to flying clubs. Thirty-nine Avian IVMs were assembled by the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Co. W.R.(Wop) May made an historic mid-winter flight in an Avian to deliver diphtheria anti-toxin to Fort Vermillion, Alberta, from Edmonton in 1929. Unlike earlier Avians, whose fuselages were constructed of wood, the IVM's fuselage is made of steel tube. The "M" in the designation stands for "Metal". Most of the components used in Canadian-assembled Avians were manufactured in England, but some of the wing and tail surfaces were made by the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Co.
