Notes
- The original 504 Mk.II was a hybrid, featuring the fuselage af a Type 504K married to a Type 504N undercarriage and mainplanes and fitted with a 100 h.p. Gnome Monosoupape powerplant. George Jenks, in Aeromilitaria [2]
speculates that the prototype 504 Mk.II may have become J8029. This was apparently a rebuild of 504K F9723 under Air Ministry
Contract 667589/26, powered by a 100 h.p. Gnome Monosoupape and was on the charge of the Home Aircraft Depot Station Flight,
Henlow, from October 1926 to March 1928.
- Known locally as the Avro Anáhuac. One photograph
in [4] shows serial 13-A-105. One Anáhuac was donated to Guatemala on 15 June 1927, named Benito Juarez and another
to Costa Rica on 18 July 1929, named Juan Santamaria.
- In 1935, four late-production Type 504N s were re-engined with 130 h.p. Clerget rotaries for joy-riding, thus making them the equivalent of the 504K Mk.II of ten
years earlier, but these were distinguished by the later Frise ailerons and under-wing fuel tanks of the Type 504N .
