Qantas took delivery of its first aircraft, an Avro 504K, registration G-AUBG, in January 1921. It was assembled in Sydney by Australian Aircraft and Engineering Company, agents for the A.V. Roe Company in England.

The Avro, carrying two passengers in an open cockpit behind the pilot, was used  for joy rides and air taxi services while promoting the advantages of air transport to thousands of potential customers.

In its final years of service the Avro was used mainly for flying instruction and route familiarisation. It was sold  in November 1926.
