[1][2] The Vendace I was a two-bay biplane with folding wooden wings and a steel tube fuselage, powered by a Rolls-Royce Falcon engine.

Its undercarriage could be changed from floats to wheels in ten minutes, while its fuel supply was held in two streamlined tanks above the upper wing.

[1] The first Vendace first flew at Brooklands by March 1926, and then underwent successful trials as a landplane, including operation from the aircraft carrier HMS Furious.

[6][7] Development continued with the Type 155 Vendace III powered by a 300 hp (220 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8F, and three were sold to Bolivia for use as trainers,[8] at a cost of £ 9,997 for the three aircraft.

[11][12] Two Vendaces were listed as still being in service in 1933, with one being used as a communications aircraft during the Chaco War before being destroyed by Bolivian forces during a retreat in December 1933.
