This historic photograph captures the moment the Irish Army Air Corps took delivery of the first Avro 636 trainer aircraft, registration A14, in the late 1950s. The Avro 636, also known as the Avro Anson Mk.21, was a versatile and much-loved aircraft that served various roles in the military, including training, communications, and maritime patrol. The Irish Army Air Corps, established in 1922, was the military aviation branch of the Irish Defence Forces. The acquisition of the Avro 636 trainers marked a significant expansion of the Corps' capabilities and allowed for the training of pilots and aircrew in a modern, effective, and efficient manner. The Avro 636 was a twin-engine, low-wing monoplane with a distinctive silhouette and a spacious cockpit that could accommodate multiple trainees. Its advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, made it a popular choice among military aviation units around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a pivotal moment in the history of the Irish Army Air Corps and the introduction of a new generation of aircraft that would serve the Corps for decades to come. The Avro 636 trainers played a crucial role in preparing pilots and aircrew for various missions, ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of the Irish Defence Forces.
