Notes - Both Air Britain [2] and Robertson [3] give 504K H2968 converted to 504R, but since the 504R had a new lightweight
structure, this is most unlikely.
- Initially fitted with the 100 h.p. Gnome Monosoupape powerplant, from
1931 the 140 h.p. Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major became standard, firstly on new built aircraft then as replacements as required.
Known aircraft are 4, 15, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 39.
