Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 8): Fairey III; 111 !!!

continuing on...

The Avro wiki page has a long list of "Aeroplanes", each of their names having a three digit number, butt only one with 3 identical numbers:
Note from the Bison wiki page:
Fairey Aviation Company logoA twinning in a name such as this is a cluster, and in this case it communicates something "black burn",  and so a double heads up.  On the Blackburn Blackburn wiki page I noted the following: 
Again, the III is an addition to the "Identical Number/Letter Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

What is interesting about the logo, are the triangle's one within the other... it's 'audd' because gays and lesbians in German concentration camps were tattooed with a triangle-- pink for the men and black for women... 'audd' because today the word "fairy" is often used ... usually derogatory, to identify a gays and lesbians.
