Only two Avro 652 aircraft were ever produced, being used by Imperial Airways mainly between Crowdon and Brindisi. The Avro 652 was the basis for the Avro Anson , of which over 11,000 were made.

This model was made around 1935-1941, maker unknown.

In March 1935, two Avro 652's ,G-ACRM named Avalon, and G-ACRN named Avatar and then Ava, were delivered to Imperial Airways, and mostly served the route from Croydon to Brindisi. In 1938 they were sold to Air Service Training Ltd., serving as navigational training aircraft operating out of Hamble airfield. They were then transferred to the Fleet Air Arm, with serial numbers DG655 and DG656 respectively. Although only two Avro 652's were produced, they formed the basis for the successful Avro Anson.
