The Avro 527 was the last Avro two-seat fighter derivative of the basic 504 design. It was built early in 1916 for trial by the Royal Flying Corps, with the features of the RNAS Avro 504G but with a much more powerful engine; it did not reach production. The RNAS Avro 504G was a 80 hp (60 kW) Gnome rotary-engined version of the Avro 504B with forward firing Vickers guns and a Scarff-ring mounted Lewis gun in the rear cockpit. The Avro 527 was a version of the 504G intended for the RFC with the much more powerful, 150 hp (112 hp) Sunbeam Nubian water-cooled engine. It used standard 504K wings and central skid, single axle undercarriage. Naval 504s had mostly been fitted with a vertical tail with a generous fixed fin, in contrast to RFC machines with the all moving, comma shaped rudder, and the 527 retained the fin from its 504G predecessor. The engine installation was very different from other 504s, though similar to that of the Avro 519 which used the same engine. There were two tall, almost vertical exhaust pipes, one from each bank of the upright V-eight Nubian, discharging just above the upper wing.
