The Avro 613 was a 1920s-proposed British design by Avro to meet an Air Ministry requirement for a twin-engined night bomber. Air Ministry Specification B.19/27 was issued in August 1927 for a twin-engined night bombing landplane to replace the Vickers Virginia, and in May 1928 Avro designed the 613 with two Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar engines to meet it. Six companies submitted proposals and four were selected to be built for flight trials: the Avro 613, the Fairey Night Bomber, the Handley Page HP.38 and the Vickers Type 150. A contract was placed with Avro for one prototype, but it was never built.
