The Roe 1 Triplane (A.K.A. the Avro Triplane) designed and built by A.V. Roe was the first all-British aircraft to fly. The engine was mounted below the leading edge of the wing with a belt-drive to the propeller drive-shaft. Both fuselage and wings were covered with brown paper backed by an open-weave fabric. Roe named the aircraft "The Bullseye" after the braces manufactured by his brother's company which had helped pay for it.

The Avro 707 was a British experimental aircraft which first flew in 1949. It was built to test the tailless, thick delta wing configuration chosen for the Avro 698 jet bomber, later named "Vulcan". Aerodynamically, the Avro 707 was a 1/3 - scale version of the famous Vulcan "V bomber" and it continued to be used for other research both in the UK and Australia until it was "retired" in 1967.
