VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Vintage advertisement for the Avro "Viper" Training Seaplane, Type 552. The image features a detailed illustration of the seaplane within an octagonal border at the top right corner. Below and to the left is text describing the aircraft as a specially designed training machine suitable for government and civilian flying schools, highlighting its successful operation by various governments. The ad emphasizes that this water-cooled engine makes it desirable for use in tropical or coastal climates where air cooling may be less effective. It boasts of robust construction, simplicity of control, minimum maintenance requirements, and efficient dual control fitting. Key features mentioned include a reliable Wolseley "Viper" engine with easy control and accessibility from the cockpit via hand starter. The machine's sensitivity to controls allows clean stall recovery without dropping a wing due to well-balanced controls. Additional practicalities such as undercarriage attachments serving dual purposes—either as land gear or sea gear—are noted along with adaptability for anchor and mooring purposes. The advertisement concludes with contact information for A. V Roe & Co. Ltd. , located at Avro Works, Newton Heath, Manchester; inviting inquiries for further details on this advanced piece of aviation technology from its era.
