The Roe I Biplane (often later referred to as the Avro Biplane) was the first powered aircraft to be designed built and flown in England. Designed in an attempt to claim a prize offered by the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club it was designed and built by Alliott Verdon Roe who based it on a powered model with which he had won a Daily Mail prize of £75 at Alexandra Palace in April 1907.
