Survivors
Avian IV, SE-ADT, construction nr 318, is preserved in good condition and displayed in a café in a shopping center at Arlanda Stad close to Stockholm - Arlanda Airport, Sweden. Two Avro Avians were on the Australian register in 2009. They are currently stored in the Adelaide Soaring Club hangar at Gawler, South Australia. One is registered VH-UQE, and is apparently airframe construction no. 531. In Canada, the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin has a Genet powered Avian IVM CF-CDV c/n 316, the Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton has a replica Avian IIIA (possibly on loan) painted as G-CAVB as a memorial to a heroic flight by Wop May when he flew diphtheria medicine mid-winter to a village where an outbreak was occurring on the Canadian prairies. The Herrick Collection in Anoka, Minnesota has an Avian IV c/n R3/AV/127 (ex- Avian II VH-UFZ) painted as N7083/G-EBUG to represent an aircraft Amelia Earhart flew across the United States in 1928-1929.

Famous quotes containing the word survivors:
“I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.”
—Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
“I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
