Hello all

Having a look about this aircraft I wonder why there is no more info?
It\'s looks like a Avro ...(something) pusher.
I have seen manny pic\'s about this plane.
We have used it here on holland before the ww1 and there are used by the brits in the first years of that war.

Can it be build under licence in Canada ?
