Avia Ba.222 - Limited Edition

Following the success of the Ba.122, the aircraft was further developed.
Another variant was the B-222, which was built and flown in August 1937.
The Rk.17 engine was fitted with an aerodynamic NACA cowling, the fuselage was also modified, and the landing gear received aerodynamic fairings.
The aircraft was demonstrated at the National Aerobatic Competition, but never even received a registration certificate.
In 1938, another Avia 222 was built, which, unlike the Ba.122, featured aerodynamic fairings and a tailwheel.
The aircraft was demonstrated in Yugoslavia in September 1938 by pilot Oldřich Košař.
The Avia factory participated in the 3rd National Flight of the RČS and the 2nd National Aerobatic Competition.
Avia used it primarily as a demonstration aircraft.
After the occupation of Czechoslovakia, the B-222.1 was sold to Bulgaria in 1939.
Avia also produced a second 222, designated B-222 serial number 1, with a similar livery and OK-AVB markings.
