TAnother 2 paints for Nigel's Avro Tutor.
his time for the 621 Trainer model and the floats model.
So here is the 621 masquerading as Avro factory demonstrator G-ABFM . Built in October 1930 serial number 478 was converted during build to 626 configuration (with optional 3rd cockpit) but retained the early gear and cowl, it can be seen in many photo's of the time wearing both wheel and float landing gear, while in use as Avro's factory demonstrator.
In 1931 it embarked on a sales tour of South America, and while in Argentina was ,"acquired" by the Argentine military to help suppress a local uprising, can't find any details of how or where this was, but it must have made a good impression, as an order for 14 more aeroplanes followed. It was retained in Argentina and has been later pictured in Argentine military marks wearing the number 31 on fuselage
FS9 as I don't run FSX, feel free to convert.
