The RAAF Museum's Avro 504K is a replica constructed from the original drawings by AJD Engineering of the United Kingdom using original fittings, instruments and engine. The aircraft is airworthy. Painted as E3747, it represents one of the twenty Avro 504Ks ordered by the Australian Flying Corps in 1918 for the Central Flying School. Arriving in Australia in April 1919, E3747 was sent to No 1 Military District in Queensland during August 1919 for the First Peace Loan, and crashed at Gympie on 17 September 1919. The aircraft was returned to the Aeroplane Repair Section at Point Cook in October of that year, and was struck off charge in April 1920.
