Early in 1930 Spartan Aircraft Ltd. Simmonds altered a version of the Simmonds Spartan into the Spartan Arrow. First flown in May 1930, the prototypes G-AAWY and G-AAWZ were powered by 100 hp Gipsy I engines but the production aircraft that followed had 120 hp Gipsy IIs or 105 hp Hermes II with the exception of Arrow G-ABST which was experimentally fitted with a 160 hp Napier Javelin III.
