The Avro 508 was a prototype British reconnaissance aircraft of the 1910s. DevelopmentThe Avro 508 was built at Avro's Manchester works in December 1913 and assembled at Brooklands in January 1914.[1] First exhibited in Manchester in January 1914, the 508 was a wooden fabric-covered pusher biplane of unusual shape, resembling a back-to-front Avro 504. Its top and bottom three-bay wings were equal in length, made of fabric-covered wood. Operational historyIt was completed by March 1914, and shown at the Olympia Aero Show in London,[2] however its first flight was at the start of official testing in April 1915 at Brooklands.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}} The Royal Flying Corps showed no interest in the sole prototype and therefore the aircraft remained a training aircraft and engine tester at Hendon Aerodrome until it was dismantled in April 1916.{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}} Specifications{{Aircraft specs|ref=Avro Aircraft since 1908[2] |prime units?=imp
