A one-off civil variant designated
Type 72 Vanguard, accommodating 23 passengers and powered by two Napier Lion engines (later 485kW Rolls-Royce Condor III engines as the Type 103 Vanguard) entered service with Imperial Airways in May 1928. It was destroyed in an accident in late 1928 when being tested after modification of the tail unit as the Type 170 Vanguard.
