    Hello ejoiner,
    It is the tutor model AVRO 621 Tutor Early cowl-sp
    RAF London University .
    You have it also if you have downloaded the part 2
    with the needed texture files.

(Although some late build Tutors were in fact model 626 Prefect with gunners position faired over). Then there are the 626 Prefect, export versions got Armstrong-Siddeley Cheetah 230 hp engine, and then there's the 646 Sea Tutor (on floats),and then Polish built ones, which were wood, with Wright Whirlwind engines.

    Oh, and as things progressed, the Lynx engine got more hp, as did the Cheetah.

    As you can imagine, Magoo, myself, and Keith have had a bit of fun and head scratching to make them all similar but different to fly.

    Ttfn

    Interesting, so then is it safe to say the second phase of Tudors with the cowl and tail wheels are more likely 626's than 621's?

    This is going to seem contradictory, (and I know you asked earlier if they were all 621's) but not exactly, they are an improved 621.

    The initial 621 with the added improvements was just called the Tutor, the name given to it by RAF ; but for manufacturing purposes kept the 621 designation.....

    but

    depending when they were built, they might have started build as a 626, but finished as a 621 configuration as the need arose to keep deliveries going.

    These were factory designations, whereas the main customer (the RAF) referred to them as Trainer, Tutor, and Prefect respectively.

    Like all aeroplanes, as they progress in service improvements are made to the specification as the customer requests, and like most manufacturers of the period, Avro kept a lot of commonality between the models so that they didn't have to re-tool to produce the different variants.

    The wiki entries might help or confuse you even more..

    Nigel- you are going to “own” this vintage of aeroplanes... they look and fly so much better than several current payware offerings!

    Bravo Zulu’s!

    Much obliged. Love the 621's, just my kind of a ride...
