The Type D is notable in two respects. First, the prototype was at one point fitted with floats to make the first British take-off from water (on 18 November 1911). Secondly, it was a biplane rather than A.V. Roe's previous triplane wing designs. It is believed that six examples of the Type D, with its triangular shape fuselage, were manufactured. They were all different, including one example with a 60hp engine that was intended to compete in the Daily Mail Air Race, but suffered a prior accident. The Avro Type D was the company's first successful and (semi) production standard design. Avro went on to design the Lancaster bomber.
