As a freshly minted Aeronautical Engineer serving with the Canadian Air Force, I had the pleasure of working on the reconstruction of three (3) full scale flying replicas of the Avro 504K at No. 6 Repair Depot, Trenton Ontario. The aircraft flew in 72 Air Shows during Canada's Centennial Year of 1967. The Aviation Museum at Rockcliff in Ottawa has one Museum piece and I believe they still have one in flying condition.

The Avro was initially used to train pilots. The purpose of the skid was to prevent the aircraft from nosing over in case of a groundloop, landing gear failure, etc...

What is the function of the skid between the wheels?
