A V Roe's Type 621 Tutor was a two-seat British radial-engined biplane from the inter-war period. It was a simple but rugged initial trainer that was used by the RAF as well as many other air arms worldwide.
The Avro Model 621 was designed by Roy Chadwick as an Avro private venture metal replacement for the Avro 504. Conceived as a light initial pilot trainer, the biplane design featured heavily staggered equal span, single-bay wings; the construction was based on steel tubing (with some wooden components in the wing ribs) with doped linen covering. A conventional, fixed divided main undercarriage with tail skid was used in all but the latest aircraft, which had a tail wheel.
The Model 621 was powered either by a 155 hp Siddeley Mongoose or Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV (180 hp) or IVC (240 hp) engine; later Lynx-powered models had the engine enclosed in a Townend ring cowling. The Mongoose powered version was called the 621 Trainer and the more numerous Lynx-engined aircraft the Tutor. The Tutor also differed by having a more rounded rudder.
The first flight of the prototype G-AAKT was in September 1929, piloted by Avro chief test pilot Captain Harry Albert "Sam" Brown.
Production was started against an order for three from the Irish Free State and 21 Trainers from the RAF. The RAF required a replacement for the wooden Avro 504 (see elsewhere in my stream), and after three years of trials against other machines such as the Hawker Tomtit it was adopted as their basic trainer, supplanting the 504 in 1933 and remaining in this role until 1939. As well as the 21 Trainers a total of 381 Tutors and 15 Avro 646 Sea Tutors were eventually ordered by the RAF. RAF units to operate the type in quantity included the RAF College, the Central Flying School and Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 Flying Training Schools.
Subsequently, the Model 621 achieved substantial foreign sales. A V Roe and Co exported 29 for the Greek Air Force, six for the Royal Canadian Air Force, five for the Kwangsi Air Force, three for the Irish Air Force (where it was known as the Triton) and two for each of the South African and Polish Air Forces. In addition 57 were licence built in South Africa, and three licence built by the Danish Naval Shipyard.
A total of 30 Tutors were exported to the Greek Air Force and at least 61 were licence built in Greece by KEA. A number of Greek Tutors was incorporated in combat squadrons after Greece's entrance in WWII, used as army co-operation aircraft.
Known for its good handling, the type was often featured at air shows. Over 200 Avro Tutors and five Sea Tutors remained in RAF service at the beginning of WWII.
The 621 was designed as a military trainer and few reached the civil registers. In the 1930s, in addition to 10 prototypes and demonstrators, two were used by Alan Cobham's Flying Circus and two trainers were retired from the RAF into private use. One 621 was used from new by Australian National Airways. After the war another four ex-RAF 621s appeared on the civil register.
G-AHSA (above) was used for communication duties during WWII, struck off December 1946 and purchased by Wing Commander Heywood. After suffering engine failure in the early stages of the filming of Reach for the Sky, it was purchased by the Shuttleworth Collection and restored to flying condition.
Up to the end of 2003, G-AHSA was still flying as K3215 in RAF trainer yellow. Since January 2004 it has flown painted as K3241 in the colours of the Central Flying School. (The real K3241 built in 1933, served RAF College Cranwell, until transferred to the CFA in 1936.)
Seen during the Shuttleworth Collection's 50th Anniversary Air Show.
Well, when placed upside down in a museum foyer!
When I visited Canada in 2017, I knew I'd see a Canadair Tutor at long last, a type that was introduced into service in 1964 and a small number are retained for use by the Snowbirds aerobatic team.
This one is 114155.

Welcome to the best GP Tuition! Mr Irwin See is a highly sought-after GP tutor who is a former MOE tutor & a PSC teaching scholar.
The Avro Tutor entered service with the RAF in 1933, and as well as their training role, were frequently seen in aerial formation displays. They were mainly military aircraft, and less than twenty were in private use.
The Tutor seen here was part of the RAF's original production batch of 1933, and is the last of its kind still flying!
It is powered by an Armstrong Siddley Lynx engine with a maximum Max speed of 106 knots.

The Shuttleworth Collection's 1931 Avro Tutor flying at the Evening Air Show on 19th May 2018. This aircraft was used by the RAF College Cranwell and Central Flying School (CFS) before being retired and returned to civilian use as G-AHSA
Inspired by the lovely works of Derfel Cadarn. 1,566 pieces.
I hope all of you have a lovely Christmas, I'll have the SR-71 posted by the 1st, as I'm waiting until the XMas rush is over.
Training sessions for Classical Musicians at King's College Chapel, Cambridge. Was lucky to be able to see this, couldn't believe it wasn't a professional performance.
London (Ontario), 4 June 1988.
114173 wears the markings of the Central Flying School.
This plane joined the Snowbirds in 2000. The jet crashed on 10 December 2004 after a mid-air collision with another Snowbird. The Tutors collided at the top of a loop during a training. The pilot of 173 was killed, the other pilot was literally thrown from his plane (114064) and managed to open his parachute.
Shuttleworth Collection owned and operated Avro tutor G-AHSA at Old Warden Season Premiere Air Show 2018. This is the only surviving example of this type anywhere and is painted to represent K3241 of the Central Flying School aerobatic team circa 1936.

Brittany had an SX-70 lying around that someone had given her a while back, and she thought it was broken. I met her about a year ago, and told her I could take a look at it. Took her a while, but she got back to me, and we met up so that I could take a look at it and teach her a thing or two about instant film.
Of course, I had to take at least one shot of her for my own Polaroid collection, and so that I could demonstrate some of the things I was talking about. Her camera worked just fine, and hopefully she'll get as hooked on photography as every other Polaroid photographer I know.
