Designed by A.C. Thornton at Leeds, the Arrow Active I G-ABIX, a single-seat all metal biplane, was first flown in 1931. Powered by a 115 hp Cirrus Hermes IIB engine it had a top speed of 140 mph.
The second aircraft G-ABVE had a 120 hp Gipsy III engine and flew for the first time early in 1932. It was distinguished by a raised top wing and taller undercarriage. G-ABIX caught fire and was destroyed on 20 September 1935, the pilot parachuting to safety.
No other examples were built.
