Template:Infobox Aircraft The Avro 707 was a British experimental aircraft built to test the delta wing design of the Avro 698 (later to become the Vulcan), and was a scaled-down version of that aircraft.
The aircraft were produced cheaply and quickly, five prototypes eventually being built. Only the first three provided useful information for the Vulcan project, the last two flying too late to be of much relevance.
One Avro 707 had crashed in September 1949. The Avro 707 made its final public appearance at the Farnborough Air Show, four surviving examples of the aircraft flying alongside two Vulcan prototypes.
