I TRODUCTlO' The Anson File is the latest in a series of Air-Britain publications devoted to individual types of British military aircraft. Each provides detailed background information on the particular type of aircraft covered, and forms the basis for further research. The ubiquitous Avro Anson, which soon became commonly and affectionately referred to as "Faithful Annie", first entered service in 1936, and the last machine did not leave the RAF until 1968, nearly a third of a century later. During the war it served with every Commonwealth air force, and many examples were subsequently flown by civil operators. This book lists every machine produce~ It also details, as far as possible, those machines which had subsequent military or civil histories. Numerous people have responded to requests for information on such machines, and some have also provided details of the air forces and operators with which they served. The format for the RAF listings follows that of earlier publications in this series. For each machine, every unit is listed with which it served (except storage units), and where it can be traced the code marking is listed in parenthesis after the relevant unit. In the case of aircraft serving with the Air Transport Auxiliary, this is shown as "ATA" followed in square brackets by the Ferry Pilot Pools (later Ferry pools) with which it serve~ Crash details are recorded where this resulted in writeoff. If the accident was not at an aerodrome, the county is given in addition to the town or village, to assist identification of the exact location. Every effort has been made to find the correct spelling, though this was not always easy due to the varying state of original records. In a small number of cases no details of apparent write-off accidents could be found in official unit records. It is suspected that in a few instances this is due to incorrect terminology haVing been used on the aircraft record cards for aircraft which were actually struck off charge due to deterioration.
In the case of Commonwealth air forces, a fairly similar format is used, but there are variations depending on the availability of surviving records. Most detailed are those of RAAF Ansons, and the opportunity has been taken to record these as fully as space permits. Some individual codes have been traced, notably those for No.67 Squadron, and these are included in the same manner as in the RAF tables. On the other hand, official RCAF aircraft records are sadly lacking in detail, particularly in the later years of the war when only the relevant Command was listed instead of the individual unit. Nevertheless, much of the missing information has been pieced together by searching through surviving unit records and some hundreds of individual log books, many of the latter also revealing individual codes. SAAF aircraft records have failed to survive, but it has proved possible to reconstruct individual histories from such other documentation as still exists, including a large proportion of codes. Coverage of the other air forces which used the Anson in varying degrees depended entirely on the efforts of AirBritain members in the countries concerned. Again, the amount of detail varies, but between them they have amassed a commendable amount of information. In many cases they were also able to provide background information on the respective air forces at the time the Anson was in use, and this has been included as being historically useful informatio~ Many Ansons acquired civil registrations after the war, and as far as possible their subsequent ownership has been listed, with dates. It has not always been easy to trace either previous RAF registrations or subsequent histories, the latter being particularly the case with RCAF machines which went to South America. Although there is no direct tie-up between frame numbers and serials, these appear in many instances to have been issued in approximate sequence, and all known frame numbers are therefore tabulated in the hope that this information might prove useful in establishing further previous identities.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Compilation of a book of this nature involves assistance from a large variety of sources, both official and private. The basic RAF histories have been provided by the Air Historical Branch of the Ministry of Defence. Additional RAF material has been obtained from records held by the Public Record Office and the RAF Museum. RAAF aircraft histories have been provided by the RAAF Historical Section, for the RCAF by the Public Archives of Canada, and for the SAAF by the SAAF Museum. The author would like to acknowledge the very generous assistance extended by staff at all of these. Thanks are particularly extended to Brian Pickering (Military Aircraft photographs), who must be credited with the original inspiration for this book. Also to Alan W.Hall and Eric Taylor for allowing free use to be made of the information in their 1972 book about the earlier marks of Anson, in addition to providing other information and photographs. Alan W. Hall (P,ublications) Ltd kindly allowed the reproduction of a number of Anson drawings previously published in Scale Aircraft Modelling, and Mike Keep, the Editor of that magazine, provided these and several new drawings. Appreciation is also expressed to George Burn for the cover design. Special mention must be made of the efforts of numerous others who have given generously of their time over a long period. The South African section would have been very sketchy without the help afforded by Dave Becker and Ken Smy, as would the Canadian section if it had not been for the work in this area of Doug MacPhail and Jerry Vernon. The coverage of French military and naval use is mainly due to the efforts of Bernard Chenel and JeanPierre Dubois. Also deserving of a special mention are George Jenks, who gave freely of the results of his research into the Anson over many years, Malcolm Fillmore who has worked hard to make the civil pages as complete as possible, Jim Halley for his valued help with the RAF section and Bob Lea for his photographic expertise.
The comprehensive account of the Anson in Australia is the result of the combined efforts of several people, namely Joe Barr, Trevor Boughton, Terry Brain, Mel Davis, igel Daw, Geoff Goodall, John Harrison, Air Commodore P.G.Heffernan (Rtd), Joek Ross and David Wilson. A number of Air-Britain Specialists have provided invaluable help, these including J.M.Davis (Latin America), P.Gerhardt (Germany), K.Hagby (Norway), N.Hartoch (Israel), J.S.Havers (Near and Middle East), P.G.Hillman (Afghanistan/India), V.Kenens (Belgium), P.J.Marson (U.S.A.), D. icolle (Egypt), E.Ritaranta (Finland) and G.J.R.Skillen (Ireland).

DEVELOPMENT
The Avro 652 The Avro Anson, or "Faithful Annie" as it became universally known, owed its origin to a civil need. On 18 May 1933, Imperial Airways forwarded to Avro's an outline specification for a fast six-passenger low wing monoplane for charter wor~ By August of that year Roy Chadwick had prepared a design study under the Avro type number 652, and the following month this was presented to Imperial Airways. It represented an aircraft fitted with two Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah V engines, giving a cruising speed of 150 mph and a still air range of 600 miles. Its fuselage design was based on a Fokker concept, of which Avro's al ready had some experience in the Avro Five, Six, Ten and XVIII transports (type numbers 618, 624, 619 and 642 respectively). It would have a retractable undercarriage, and an all up weight estimated at 6,500 lb. On 16 April 1934 a contract was signed for two machines, to be delivered within eight months. Registrations G-ACRM and G-ACRN were allocated, and the first of these flew at Woodford on 7 January 1935, piloted by F.B.Tomkins. They were fitted with Cheetah VIs, and the gross weight had increased to 7,500 lb. Few snags were encountered, and both machines were delivered to Croydon on 11 March, the Type Certificate of Airworthiness having been issued ten days earlier. Imperial Airways initially named them "Avalon" and "Avatar" respectively, but the
latter name was deemed objectionable in some quarters, and was therefore quickly shorted to to "Ava". They were flown on the Croydon-Brindisi route, averaging an exceptional 165mph, until October 1935, when they were withdrawn to be fitted with mass balancing for the rudders in place ot the former horn balance, to improve control and stability, particularly in bad weather. Both machines were later sold and used for training, until being impressed in March 1941 for use by the Fleet Air Arm. The Avro 652A Anson for Coastal Command Meanwhile, the growing threat from German rearmament was leading to a pressing need for modern aircraft with which to re-equip the RAF. This included a requirement issued in May 1934 for a twin-engined general reconnaissance landplane to help combat the anticipated U-boat menace in the event of war. No less than 15 designs were submitted by various firms, and these were narrowed down to two, each a modification of an existing civil aircraft. One prototype of each was ordered, the de Havilland entry being a military version of the semi-obsolescent Dragon Rapide biplane, designated D.H.89M and bearing serial number K4772. Avro, however, having already embarked on their modern design to meet the Imperial Airways requirement, were able to take advantage of this to produce a low-wing monoplane, the 652A. The latter, serialled K4771, had its maiden flight on 24 March 1935 piloted by S.A. "Bill" Thorn, being essentially similar to the 652, and fitted with Cheetah VI engines in helmeted cowlings. It had square windows instead of oval, and its military equipment included an Armstrong Whitworth manually-operated upper gun turret amidships with a single Lewis gun. There was also provision on the port side of the cockpit for a Vickers gun, and a bomb load of up to 360-lb could be carried. Tests were carried out at the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment at Martlesham Heath, then followed comparative trials with the D.H.89M by the Coast Defence Development Unit at Gosport. The Anson later took part in a Fleet Exercise in the North Sea, during which it demonstrated its excellent range and endurance. The de Havilland design was seen to be outclassed by its competitor. On 27 August 1935, Air Staff Requirement No.23 was issued for development of the 652A under the name Anson, and an initial order was placed on contract number 421119/35 for 174 machines to production specification number 18/35. Detail improvements were necessary, however.
Martlesham had made a number of criticisms, particularly in relation to stability and rudder control. To counteract this, longer tail surfaces were to be fitted, the fin extended, and the horn balance removed from the rudder. Cheetah IXs would replace the M~Vls, these being mounted 3 inches further forward. Problems experienced with the Centre of Gravity were overcome, avoiding the need to make constant alterations to the trimming gear when passengers moved around. Improvements enabled quicker take-offs and slower landings to be made, and aircraft could now be side-slipped to some extent. The combined effect of all the alterations would be to make it possible for an average service pilot to fly the aircraft for lengthy periods without undue strain. He would also be able to carry out cloud flying satisfactorily. These and other factors were to prove invaluable for the many roles in which the machine was destined to serve. The first production aircraft, K6152, was flown by Geoffrey Tyson at Woodford on 31 December 1935. The row of single squared windows which distinguished the prototype had given way to a continuous series of rectangular windows on either side, effectively creating a glasshouse and providing outstanding visibility. Retractable wheels were an innovation in the RAF, and a number of belly landings led to the retrospective Modification No.106, the fitting of a warning horn which sounded if the pilot throttled back to landing speed before lowering the undercarriage. The latter task was a tedious one on the Anson, requiring 144 turns of a handwheel by the pilot's seat, a chore which he invariably delegated to the navigator or the wireless operator. Further production of the coastal version was ordered under specifications 16/37 and 34/37. The Anson entered service in its designed role with No.48 (General Reconnaissance) Squadron at Manston on 6 March 1936. It thus became the first monoplane in RAF squadron service, and also the first RAF machine with a retractable undercarriage. As further aircraft flowed from the production line, other Coastal Command squadrons were equipped, and by the outbreak of war on 3 September 1939 it was serving with six regular squadrons, these being No.48 at Thorney Island, 0.206 at Bircham Newton, No.217 at Warmwell, No.220 at Thornaby, No.233 at Leuchars, No.269 at Montrose. In addition the type equipped four Auxiliary squadrons, namely No.500 at Detling, No.502 at Aldergrove, No.608 at Thornaby and No.612 at Dyce. They were also flown at the School of General Reconnaissance at Thorney Island. Despite an advanced design for its day, the Anson was by then in the process of being supplanted in the coastal role. Its place was to be taken by the American-built Lockheed Hudson, which was fitted with more powerful engines and had a greater range. The first squadron to reequip was No~24 at Leuchars, whose new aircraft arrived only a short time before hostilities commenced. However, supplies from America were slow in building up, and it was not until December 1941 that the last GR squadron was able to finally discard its Ansons. Ironically, this was No~8, which had been the first to receive them. Reconnaissance Ansons were soon in action. They commenced patrols over the North Sea and English Channel, and on the third day of the war a machine (K6187 VX-E) from No.206 Squadron at OetTing made the first RAF attack an a U-boat, dropping two 100 Ib bombs. On 5 December, another aircraft from this unit (K6184 VX-p) hit the conning tower of a surfaced U-boat which promptly dived, leaving a large patch of oil on the surface. The pilot, pilot Officer R.H.Harper, was later awarded the DFC. Watch was kept for German warships attempting to sail between Scotland and Norway to reach the Atlantic. Ansons also maintained standing patrols looking for magnetic mines being dropped in coastal waters and river estuaries by Heinkel He 115s. On one occasion, in June 1940. three Ansons of No.500 Squadron at DetTing succeeded in fending off an attack by nine Bf 109s while flying in the Straits
of Dover, their gunners accounting for two of the enemy, and damaging a third. In the autumn of 1940, when invasion seemed imminent, this unit experimented with increased armament. A pair of .303-in guns was fitted in the cabin windows, for use by the wireless operator and navigator, the special mountings being made locally by a Maidstone firm, who refused to charge for them. They were put to good use during the Dunkirk evacuation, when they accounted for no less than six Bf 109s. The machine flown by the Commanding Officer, Sqn Ldr W.K.LeMay, was also fitted with a downward firing 20mm Hispano cannon fitted below the cabin floor, and he used this effectively against enemy E-boats. Ansons in the Training role Despite obsolecence in the reconnaissance role, the Ansons finest hour was yet to come. As early as 1935 the possibility of a trainer version had been mooted, and in the spring of 1939 an order for no less than 1,000 machines was placed specifically for this purpose. However, in the meantime, many of the early machines had already been diverted to training units. Their use was originally intended as a stop-gap, until the arrival on the scene in quantity of the Airspeed Oxford, which had been specifically designed as a trainer but had not yet become available in numbers. Ansons were issued to Flying Training Schools as early as late 1936 for pilot training, and many more reconnaissance Ansons were later adapted to fit a variety of training roles. From 1937, a number of Ansons were issued to squadrons of Bomber Command. They were used initially to accustom crews to monoplanes, prior to the arrival of such types as the Blenheim and Whitley. By 1939 a number of bomber squadrons had been designated as Group Pool squadrons, providing operational training for new crews before being allocated to a fully operational squadron. These units later developed into Operational Training Units, and Ansons continued to serve with them throughout the war. When the true trainer variant appeared, it had a number of detail modifications. It was fitted with wing flaps, and also had alterations to the windscreen. It was suitable with adaptation for all aspects of crew training, and by the outbreak of war was in use at both service and reserve schools, for instructing fledgling navigators, air gunners and wireless operators. When used for gunnery training it was equipped with a Bristol hydraulically operated upper turret, rather similar to that of the Blenheim bomber, 313 machines being built in this format. Overseas Training Some time before the outbreak of war, discussion had taken place with Dominion countries about the possibility of them participating in aircrew training. This led on 18 December 1939 to the signing of an agreement known as the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which would require large numbers of various types of training aircraft, most of which would have to come from Britain. One of the main types involved was the Anson, and consequently further large orders were placed for machines to be shipped to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Southern Rhodesia. Canadian production and modification The largest Commonwealth recipient of the Anson was Canada, an eventual total of 1,528 British-built Mk.ls being shipped across the Atlantic, 223 of them without engines. Due to the extreme cold likely to be encountered there in winter, modifications were made on arrival, these including cockpit heating, panelling inside the fuselages and carburet tor heating. Some were fitted with Cheetah Xs, but later a number had American engines. Those equipped with the 330-hp Jacobs R-914-L6MB became Mk.IIls, the power plant being distinguished by its smooth cowling. The initial conversion was made by the National Steel Car Company on RCAF 6008 (ex N9935), which first flew in May 1941. During subsequent conversions, the upper turret was usually removed, and where necessary the original 'glasshouse' cabin windows had their glazing reduced to make them more comfortable in winter.
As a contingency against difficulties in the supply of engines, machine R9816 was selected for Modification No.527, which involved fitting the 300-hp Wright Whirlwind R-975-E3. In this form it became the Mk.IV, and the aircraft was shipped to Canada in March 1942 to become RCAF 10257. There was no immediate necessity for this variant, but the following year the supply of new Cheetahs dried up, and insufficient Jacobs engines were available. Some Mk.ls and Ills were therefore converted to Mk.IV standard, being fitted with the \ right Whirlwind R-760-EI. External differences were the larger engine cowlings and modifications to the nacelles. Meanwhile, shipping shortages and other problems in 1940 had led to plans being made for a number of Canadian firms to produce the Anson in large numbers. Based on the Mk.I, this was another variant to use the Jacobs R-914-L6MB, and was known as the Mk.II. It was fitted with a hydraulically operated undercarriage, a feature which was also installed on the later Mk.III conversions. The first machine to fly (RCAF 7070) took to the air on 14 August 1941, and production soon built up, eventually exceeding the planned rate. A total of 1,832 Mk.lls was built, later machines having a locally produced Vidal-type nose. They were succeeded on the production lines by 1,049 Mk.Vs, this being primarily a navigation trainer with a redesigned fuselage and fitted with the 450-hp Pratt and Whitney Wasp Junior R-985-AN6B, 12B or 14B engine. To meet a Canadian requirement for a cre,,- of five, using non-strategic materials, it had a new Vidal moulded plywood veneer fuselage with three circular windows. A single example of a gunnery trainer variant was also built, under the designation Mk.VI. It was fitted with an upper Bristol turret, and had only two side windows. This machine (RCAF 13881) was first flown on 21 September 1943, but the turret proved unsatisfactory and planned production of 500 of this variant was cancelled. Total Canadian production was 2,882. Mark numbers VIr to IX were also allocated to Canada, but not taken up. Wartime use at home As the flow of Commonwealth trained aircrew began to build up, it became apparent that some means must be found of accustoming them to flying conditions at home. Their early training had largely been undertaken in countries where clear skies prevailed for much of the year, and the sudden adjustment to the less kindly British climate, with clouds and mist likely to obscure mountains and high ground, led to many accidents. As a consequence, a number of Advanced Flying Uni ts were set up, and those for Observers were equipped with Ansons, a type of aircraft with which aircrew were already familiar. The Anson was also used widely by assorted training units in both Bomber and Coastal Commands. Fighter Command also had quite a number, equipping Air-Sea Rescue squadrons. A special Fighter Command version, supplied to 0.62 Operational Training Unit at Usworth (later Ouston) for training radar operators in airborne interception, was distinguished by an arrowhead-shaped aerial on the nose and a pair of vertical aerials on each wing leading edg~ Some aircraft used late in the war for Standard Beam Approach training had yellow identifying triangles painted on the wings and fuselages. The Anson was also widely use by the Air Transport Auxiliary for ferrying pilots between the aircraft factories and their home bases. They were stripped of all unnecessary equipment and fitted with light seats, effectively becoming the first communications variant of the Ansons. The standard number of passengers was nine, but it was far from unknown for this figure to be exceeded if the need arose. After D-Day, a number of ATA Ansons made trips to the Continent, one having the misfortune to be shot down at Dunkirk by anti-aircraft fire. Quite a number of Ansons were used by the Royal avy, which had its own system of nomenclatl.re to distinguish the different variants. Unfortunately no complete record of these appears to have survived, but they are known to
8
include the Mk.I (Communications), Mk.I (Classroom Basic), and also Types D, E and F for anti-submarine and ASV trainer duties. Later variants Anson development continued throughout the war and afterwards. Mks.X, XI and XII were transport and communications variants produced in some numbers, initially on the MLI production lines. The Mk.X was regarded as an int rim model, with only minor modifications from the tk.I, the prototype being Nl<753. I t had a strengthened cabin floor to allow it to carry heavy freight such as ammunition boxes or stretchers, and the all-up weight was increased to 9,450-1 b. A special door could be fitted on the starboard side for ambulance purposes, designed so that stretchers could be loaded without the engine slipstream disturbing the patient unduly. In its Series I form the Mk.X had the normal Cheetah Mk.IX engine, but the Series II variant had the 395-hp Cheetah Mk.XIX and a hydraulically operated undercarriage. Most examples were fitted with a redesigned perspex nose and smooth engine cowlings, features which also appeared retrospectively later on Some Mk.ls, making visual differentiation between the two variants difficult. Some Mk.ls were converted to this standard. Th Mk.XI also had the Cheetah MLXIX with smooth cowlings, as well as hydraulically operated flaps and undercarriage. In addition it introduced a redesigned roof allowing more headroom, and three square windows replaced the familiar 'glasshouse' type cabin. The prototype ( K870) made its first flight at Yeadon on 30 July 1944, and several were fitted out as VIP transports. The final wartime version in this line was the Mk.XII, with similar features to the MLXI but powered by 425-hp Cheetah XVS fitted with spinners on their Rotol v.p. propellors. Both of these variants had stemmed from Air Staff Requirement O.R.14I, which called for an urgently needed aircraft for light ambulance duties, able to evacuate casualties by air from advanced landing ground near the battle area, and accordingly stripped of all armament and armour plating. This was followed by OR.143 calling for a transport version of the Anson, the two OR's being then combined to result in the Mks.XI and XII. The prototype conversion of the ~lk.XII was made on a Mk.I, and the first ambulance machine was NLI53, which flew on 27 October 1944. Further training versions were then proposed, though none of them progressed beyond the drawing board stage. The Mk.XIII was to be a dual control advanced trainer with a crew of three, and like the Mk.X it would have been produced in two variants, a Series I and II being respectively fitted with Cheetah Mks.IX and XIX, the latter version with a hydraulic undercarriage. The Mk.XIV was to be a three-seat turret gunnery trainer with Rotol variable pitch airscrews and a hydraulic undercarriage.
9
The Mk.XV was an intended six-seat navigation trainer, again in Srs.I and II versions, respectively without and with hydraulic undercarriage. Finally, the Mk.XVI would have been a three-seat navigation and bombing trainer with Cheetah XVs, Rotol v.p. airscrews and hydraulic undercarriage. The mark number XVII was never allocated. In 1945 appeared a postwar civil variant, the Avro Nineteen (or XIX), taking up the numbering sequence of the prewar Avro transports. Designed for use as feeder-liner or executive transport, it was produced in small numbers. Derived from the Anson Mk.XII. it was distinguished by its five oval windows and lowered port side entrance door with a window. The concept was tried out on MG159, which had originally been laid down as a Mk.I, then became a MLXII prototype. Adaptation of the Avro XIX for service use was relatively simple. Several orders were placed, but instead of taking up the next sequential mark number, the RAF version retained the civil number, being styled the Anson C MLXIX, or C.19 as it became when Arabic numerals were introduced for mark numbers in June 1948. Used mainly for communications duties, initial deliveries were of the Series I variant with wooden wings and tail planes. Improvements over the Mk.XII included soundproofing of the cabin and upgraded interior furnishings. These were succeeded by the Series II, with metal wings and tail planes , a number of the earlier machines being later brought up to this standard. The C.19 Series 2 formed the basis for three postwar trainer versions. The T.20 was built to Specification T.24/46 for use as a tropicalised navigation trainer in Southern Rhodesia. It was fitted with a transparent nose for bomb-aiming, and had provision for sixteen 8t-lb practice bombs. Some T.20s later returned to the UK and were adapted for communications work. The T.21, to Specification T.25/46, was fairly similar to the T.22, but intended for use in the UK. Some of these were also converted later to the communications role, and in this format became C.2Is. Finally the T.22, to Specification T~6/46, was a UK-based radio trainer for air signallers. One last version was the Anson Mk.18, taking up a previously unallocated mark number. This was a much modified ten-seat variation of the C.19 Series 2 fitted with Cheetah 17s, sold in 1948 to Afghanistan for police patrol, communications and air survey work. A variant, the Mk.18c with Cheetah ISs, was supplied the following year to the Indian Government, for use as civil radio and navigation trainers for student aircrews destined for Indian airlines. Production of the Anson finally ended in May 1952, by which time a total of 8,138 had rolled off the UK assembly lines, in addition to the 2,882 built in Canada. It was not until 28 June 1968, however, that the type was officially retired from RAF service, the occasion being marked by a special flypast of six machines from the Southern Communications Squadron at Bovingdon.

The war is over. The Avro float for the local Victory parade proudly reads "A 25th of Britain's War production of 125,000 British Planes. The local Yeadon Factory made 4,700 Ansons, 700 Lancasters"
(H.W.Harper via FIt
Lt
C.R.SUnderland)
Avro did not allot constructor's numbers to RAF aircraft, their use being confined to civil aircraft and military exports. This led to many of the postwar civilianised Ansons having their frame numbers recorded in civil registers as "constructors numbers".
These frame
numbers
were of two types, those prefixed by "R3 LW" relating to production at the main Avro works at Manchester, while those built at the Yeadon shadow factory had "RY LW" prefixes. Serial N5374/SA3125 R9767/SA3153

RAF serial numbers were not issued in direct sequence of frame numbers, but there is often an approximate relationship, from which it is has been possible to establish a likely previous identity amongst known sales. There are still a number of civil machines for which previous identities are unknown, and it is useful therefore to list known frame numbers (or other components) in the possibility that this might help establish other previous identities.

AUSTRALIAN USAGE Remarks SOC 2.8.45
Circumstance was the greatest factor in establishing the prominence of the Anson in Australia. When introduced into service,
its performance was average.
there being
other
machines available with greater capacity. It was soon outclassed by the rapid development that took place in the late 1930s and early J940s, yet despite this the type continued to thrive. Its availability when required, modest cost, simple rugged design which could be readily maintained, and ease of operation (apart from the undercarriage retraction system!) were all factors which identified it as a functional yet anachronistic machine.

The story of the Anson in Australia can be traced back to 1934 when, concerned with rising militarism, particularly in Germany and Japan, the Australian Government announced on 4 December a defence expansion over the next three years. Air Force expenditure then rose
as the long neglected Salmond plan of 1928 was at last implemented. In addition, as part of a policy of becoming more independent, and less reliant on Britain, local aircraft manufacturing was included as a contingency against supply problems with Britain. The first public reference Lo an Anson order was made on 1 July 1935 by the Chief of Air Staff (Air Vice-Marshal R.Williams) during his annual inspection of the RAAF Base Richmond. He sai d " • • the Ai r Board was considering the purchase of a new type • comprise twin-engined general purpose aircraft. They would not be as fast as the Hawker Demons, but would be valuable for coastal reconnaissance and bombing. 1I

From January 1936, supply bottlenecks for aircraft ordered from British manufacturers became a topic of increased public discussion in Australia, and soon the Anson was being included in this. Deliveries commenced on 19 November 1936, when the first machines arrived in Melbourne on the SS Orari. The first, A4-1, was test flown on 2 December 1936 from RAAF Base Laverton by Wg Cdr A.W.Murphy. The Anson became the first monoplane to be introduced into RAAF service in quantity, but its performance (range, speed, equipment fitted) was still inferior to the contemporary Lockheed lOs and Douglas DC2/3s of the airlines. Before the first Anson had arrived in Australia the Air Board recommended purchase of the Bristol Blenheim to equip operational units, with deliveries expected in 1937. What followed can best be described as symptomatic of the position Australia found herself in, orders being given a different priority in Britain. On J7 February 1937, the Air Board approved the purchase of 40 Bristol Type 149s for delivery from J938 but, as this became more remote, further Ansons were ordered. The replacement question was resolved on 23 March 1939, when the Prime Minister announced production of the Beaufort in Australia. As a consequence of the increased need for pilot training, for new RAAF units and for RAF short service commissions,
there
was
an
increase in
the
number
of
accidents and incidents, which the newspapers began to feed on and sensationalise. Such accidents/incidents were being experienced in other countries, and were to be expected with the increased flying activity. A number of Ansons began to appear in the ever increasing total, and inquests/inquiries exposed some embarrassing deficiencies of equipment and training. To counter the accident clamour, the Minister of Defence began to use an Anson as a personal aircraft, but on 9 June 1938, while flying from Canberra to Melbourne, icing conditions were encountered and a forced landing was made in mountainous country north of Albury. Half an hour later, a commercial flight passed safely through the area due to the superiority of the navigation instruments of commercial machines in adverse conditions. 1I
The pilot, FIg Off H.A.Durant, was awarded the Air Force Cross for saving the aircraft and its passengers. The Air Force was not alone in experiencing difficulties, however,
as shown by the accident near Melbourne on 25 October 1938 to DC-2 VH-UYC "Kyeema", where the subsequent inquiry highlighted deficiencies in radio aids.
Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Edward Ellington was invited to inspect the RAAF, and on 29 June 1938, as guest speaker at a Sydney luncheon, admitted that both the Anson and the Demon were no longer" •• classed as modern aircraft •• but were still regarded by the Air Ministry as being efficient and reliable, and Avro Ansons were still being put into service in England for reconnaissance purposes". As the new types sought by Australia were not available, Sir Edward recommended the loan of additional Ansons from England to meet the continuing shortfall of machines. This was adopted to bring the pre-war total to 88 aircraft (48 ordered plus 40 leased). On 2 November 1938 an order for 50 Lockheed Hudson was announced - two months after the last of the 48 Ansons had arrived. Establishment of the Empire Air Training Scheme was announced in Australia on II October 1939, with further details on 29 February 1940. 36 schools were to be established at regular intervals until 1 April 1942, when the Scheme would be fully operational. Included in the 1160 aircraft to be supplied by Britain were 591 Ansons. A~.Roe & Co Ltd were formally approached on 20 March 1940 to advise concerning the proposed manufacture of Anson wings in Australia. These arrangements resulted in a change of supply proposals on 23 April 1940. There were now to be 765 machines, of which 591 had been ordered. The remaining J74 were to allow for wastage, and would now be ordered as fuselages only and fitted to the 200 wings to be made in Australia. Soon afterwards this was changed to the manufacture of complete aircraft to meet the needs of the EATS, but with difficulties in the supply of engines this was abandoned. Another reason was the offer of Oxfords in lieu of Ansons, which was accepted, the first example being P6878, which was diverted from New Zealan~ It was not until April 1941 that final confirmation was received by the Aircraft production Commission that Australian manufacture was unlikely.
The Anson is best known in Australia as a training aircraft at the Service Flying Training Schools, where the establishment was J50 machines each. It also performed a vital role in coastal patrolling to counter commerce raiders, initially German and later Japanese. AS part of this role ASV radar was fitted. Servicing arrangements for the Anson were decentralised, using airline operators, and this was to prove invaluable in the postwar conversion to civil aircraft. The following table analyses the comparative number of Ansons and Oxfords taken on charge each year: Year 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 194J 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947

Of 691 postwar disposals of Ansons to civilians, 145 received Australian civil registrations. The type played a major role in the development of postwar airline, freight, charter and air survey operations throughout Australia, as well as the Territory of Papua and the Mandated Territory of New Guinea (papua New Guinea). Many airlines established their early postwar services with hastily converted ex-RAAF Ansons, usually fitted out for seven passengers, although in Papua New Guinea benchtype seating allowed up to 16 natives to be carried. In June 1987 East West Airlines, by now Australia's third largest airline with a fleet of Fokker F-27s and F-28s on an Australia-wide network, celebrated its 40th Anniversary at Sydney Airport by unveiling an immaculate restoration of Anson VH-ASM "Hinckler" which flew the company's inaugural service from Tamworth to Sydney with seven passengers in June 1947. From the beginning, however, the Department of Civil Aviation was concerned with the Anson's poor single engine performance as well as the structural integrity of the glued wood construction of the mainplane and tailplane. Many civil Ansons were prematurely grounded following DCA inspections, which revealed dramatic deterioration in their wings and tails. This glue adhesion breakdown was caused by the hot climate, being particularly prevalent in Papua ew Guinea where the extreme humidity accelerated the problem. Many Ansons only survived one year's operations before being grounded at their annual CofA renewal inspections. Nevertheless they were popular with charter and airline operators alike, being available at low initial price with plentiful supplies of military disposals spare parts and Cheetah engines. Even the Department of Civil Aviation was orced to accept that with careful maintenance the Anson fulfilled an essential role in the postwar aviation scen , and in fact the DCA itself was to fly five Ansons for ten years as general communications and transport aircraft.
By 1961, however, concern over poor engine-out performance, and glue deterioration in the dozen ageing Ansons still in Australian service, saw a series of DCA restrictions invoked under A 0 29.9. Carriage of passengers and over water flights were banned from I January 1962, and at midnight on 30 June 1962 carne the final type grounding when the Department withdrew the Certificate of Airworthiness for all Australian Anson Mk.Is. Flypasts of Ansons took place over Melbourne, Perth and Kalgoorlie on that final day. An era had ended. Brain & Brain Airfreighters of Moorabbin Airport, Melbourne, who were a legend in Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands for their Anson freight services in all weathers over the previous ten years, made a brave attempt to keep the type flying. During 1962 they undertook a very expensive rebuild of one of their Anson Mk.Is (VH-BAF) which had been damaged in landing accident at Moorabbin. They were to use the metal mainplane and tailplane of a former RAAF Anson C.19 VH-BIX salvaged from a crash landing while carrying live crayfish in Western Australia the previous year. After transporting the wing and tail plane across the country to Moorabbin, the mainplane was found to hav been too badly damaged during transit to be useable, and a spare unused ex-RAAF C.19 mainplane was purchased instead. The tail plane structure of VH-BIX was used in the rebuild and more powerful Cheetah XV engines installed, along with hydraulic undercarriage and flaps. This hybrid Anson, designated Avro 652AM (M = Modified) by DCA, finally made its first test flight at 100rabin on 16 August 1963, and continued on commercial freight and passenger charter work for another 10 years. However, Brain & Brain's hopes of establishing a production line to convert other grounded Australian wooden-wing Ansons came to nothing. Today, VH-BAF is Australia's only airworthy Anson, flying under the Department's A 0.108A "sport aircraft" category as a private aircraft, still lovingly flown by its veteran owner Terry Brain, who has logged a remarkable 12,000 hours on Ansons. The old Anson is based at the Eureka Aviation Museum at Ballarat, Victoria and carries the appropriate name on the nose "The last of the lot".
Only one other Anson was to fly in Australia after the 1962 DCA grounding order. Nicholas Air Charter, also of Moorabbin, purchased Avro XIX G-AHXK from Hawker Aircraft at Dunsfold in August 1962. NAC's Managing Director, Richard Cavill, departed Gatwick for the delivery flight to Australia in the aircraft, now re-registered V!I-RCC, on 1 October, and reached Moorabbin 27 days later. It was later based in Adelaide with NAC, but was to see little chart r flying and soon fell into poor condition. It finally succumbed to the same fate as befell so many other Australian Ansons before her, being burnt for practice by the airport fire service.
production plans in Australia As part of the original order, a five year licence was negotiated to manufacture the Anson in Australia. Although signed on 19 ~lay 1936, the agreement was, however, never completed by the Australian Government. During the Empire Air Conference held at Ottawa, Canada, in November-December 1939, Britain proposed to supply Ansons less mainplanes for use in service flying training schools and for observer and navigation training. The Australian representatives requested the first ISO be supplied complete so as to ensure that initial training use was not delayed. On 5 January 1940 the Air Board cabled London seeking an increase in this numb r to 200, and this was agreed to. For the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) agreement (to 31 March 1943) it was estimated that 787 Ansons would be required in Australia, being 591 for training and depot spares plus 196 for wastage. Action to manufacture the outstanding mainplanes began on 28 December 1939 when the Clyde Engineering Co Ltd, Granville, NSW, formally submitted proposals to the Air Board. They wer to consist of the wing plus trailing edges, but excluding engine and undercarriage assemblies and the fuel tanks. Although initially only the manufacture of mainplanes was considered, the worst fears of some officials were aroused when on 7 February 1940 the Air inistry enquired whether the tail plane, elevator and rudder were to be supplied from England. The Air Board's response the next day, to the RAAF Air Liaison Qtficer in London, was very clear in specifying that only the wing and trailing edges were being considered for manufacture in Australia. At the same time, the Minister for Supply and Development (Sir Frederick Stewart), together with officers of the Air Board and Aircraft Construction Branch. informally concluded subject to confirmation regarding delivery from the United Kingdom that the total quantity of Avro Anson aircraft would probably be obtained from the United Kingdom and the wastage requirements of mainplanes manufactured in Australia".
The decision was questioned on financial grounds by the Australian High Commissioner in London (S.M.Bruce) in a cabl dated 20 F bruary 1940 and by the War Cabinet decision of 27 February 1940" ••• that the whole of the Anson wings should be obtained from the United Kingdom unless the Air Board or the Supply Department have very weighty reasons to the contrary " Despite the War Cabinet's decision, efforts to manufacture the type in Australia intensified as deliveries fell behind the planned rate. thereby threatening the training of EATS aircrew. F.J.Shea, Chief Engineer of the Aircraft Production Branch, Department of Supply and Development [in March 1940 renamed Aircraft production Commission, and in June 1941 becoming the Department of Aircraft production], then in England resolving Beaufort problems, was directed to approach A.V.Roe concerning wing manufacture. In response to his enquiry of 20 March 1940, the company proposed an assistance contract similar to one already arranged with Canada. Before arrangements could be completed, however, a cable dated 31 May 1940 instru ted him to arrange for the manufacture of complete aircraft (handled by the Ministry of Aircraft Production, who issued "Instruction to Proceed orders" B.125926/40 to A.V.Roe and B.125927/40 to Arm strong Siddeley).
~egotiations with Clyde Engineering for the manufacture of mainplanes began on 8 Mar 1940. Two months later, on 8 May, the Sydney Morning Herald published a lengthy
article, by its aviation correspondent, on the extent of
the proposed contract. Clyde's privileged position arose from an arli r commercial agreement, made on 26 January 1939 with Aircraft Dev lopment Pty Ltd, for the manufacture of Airspeed oxfords in Australia. Included was an open agreement covering any other aircraft type that might be buil t for which Aircraft Development had an agency. This agreement was terminated on 3 May 1940. All of this came to nothing, for on 5 June 1940 the Commission notified Clyde Engineering that it " • • • might be impossible for the Commission to proceed further with this proposal." On 30 October 1940 Clyde was paid £A5,260 for expenditure incurred in modifying their factory for the proposal. The requirement still existed, however, for on 5 June 1940, F.J.Shea was cabled that it was planned to recommend to the government that up to 800 Ansons be manufactured at the rate of 300 per annum.
production. Work on barrels was undertaken by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation pty Ltd at Fishermans Bend (Victoria), Whyall (South Australia) and Lidcombe (NSW), at the Maribyrnong Ordinance Factory (Victoria) and at the Tasmanian Government Railway Workshops in Launceston. On 3 February 1942 the Aeronautical Research Laboratory proposed the fabrication of cylinder barrels by brazing fins in position, with the consequent reduction in machining time and the saving of high grade steel. The test report tabled on 31 May 1943 demonstrated the process was an alternative method, but all agreed that it was too late to change the method of production employed for Cheetah barrels. Under the second period of the EATS, which ended on I March 1945, supply bottlenecks had been overcome and the main difficulties were in servicing the numbers of aircraft and engines then in use. The Anson, due to the quantity in service, was a particular problem in this regard, although by the end of 1944 action was commenced to reduce the numbers of engines in circulation. Postwar Australian civil use
Selection of an alternative engine to the Cheetah was considered in a report dated 7 June 1940, using data from the 1939 edition of Jane's All the World's Aircraft. The relative performances at 6,000 feet altitude were: Cheetah IX 310hp @ 2100rpm 775 ft.lbs torque V Jacobs L-6 278hp @ 2100rpm 695 ft Ibs 0.96V Kinner SC-7 338hp @ 1900rpm 935 ft lbs 1.07V ~~irlwind 975E-3 355hp @ 2200 rpm 845 ft Ibs 1.03v On the same day, advice from A.V.Roe indicated that the Jacobs L-6 was suitable for training, and Canada was considering the Lycoming engine. A cable to F.B.Clapp, Director of purchases, Australian Division, British Purchasing Commission, in New York on 17 June 1940 indicated that the plan to manufacture Ansons was dependent on the supply of engines, either Jacobs or Lycoming, at the rate of 32 per month from March 1941. Clapp's reply indicated the Jacobs were not be available until early 1942, and a trial was planned with the Lycoming in Canada 'Shortly'. Roy Chadwick's views were cabled to Australia on 25 June 1940. The Wasp Types B or TB were the most suitable alternative engine, and 'gOOd engineering' only was required to modify the engine mount. Supply of this engine from America was not possible, but in view of the higher performance Wasp engines being manufactured in Australia, arrangements

Engines could be made available in 14 months, but Australia did not accept this offer. Canada offered 50 Jacobs engines in November 1940, provided that they could be used immediately. Australia asked if airframes for these engines could also be made available and then, on 20 January 1941, requested variable pitch propellers. On 17 February 1941 Australia cabled that the 50 engines could not be used. The manufacturing proposal was finally abandoned on 4 April 1941, when the Department of Air confirmed that it was" • unlikely to undertake the manufacture of Anson aircraft complete in Australia". Even though the delivery of Ansons improved in 1941, the Australian War Cabinet approved the purchase of 50 de Havilland Dragons on 3 September 1941 and a further 37 on 21 January 1942. The aircraft available for EATS were reallocated in order to maintain the training rate. By the end 0 1941 particular the supply of problem.

Adastra Airways pty Ltd of Sydney had the dubious honour of being the first Australian operator to attempt civil certification of ex-military Ansons. Adastra was a respected training and airline company founded in 1931, which branched into aerial photographic survey work just prior to WWII. As the war drew to a close, Adastra decided to concentrate solely on aerial survey. and in November 1944 successfully bid for a £AI50,000 Victorian Government mapping contract to photograph large areas of that state. The RAAF had a highly professional Survey Flight using Ansons, Hudsons and later Mosquitoes for mapping work, but the Victorian project required a different photographic scale so the contract was let to Adastra with the proviso that the RAAF would release suitable aircraft and spare parts as required. Adastra commenced the survey with their D.H.90 Dragonfly VH-AAD, but Managing Director Frank Follett chose the Avro Anson as the type best suited for this contract. In May 1945 the RAAF released ~lG796 from the General Reconnaissance School at Bairnsdale, Vic to Adastra Airways, and on May 28 Adastra applied to DCA for a Certificate of Airworthiness. The Department promptly allocated the registration VH-AGG but was wary about granting the full CofA, advising that it would have to investigate the type thoroughly. MG796 was ferried to Adastra's Mascot Airport hangar for civil conversion and fitting of camera gear. By September it was completed with seating for pilot and three crew, and two vertical cameras were installed in the floor. DCA nominated a Maximum Ail Up Weight of 7500 Ib, leading to heated correspondence with Adastra, who claimed the aircraft could not be effectively used unless this was raised to 8500 lb to allow sufficient fuel load for extended survey operations. DCA conducted flight testing of a RAAF Anson at 0.1 Aircraft Performance Unit at Laverton RAAF Station to evaluate single engined performance at the higher MAUW, and refused to allow the increase. During September 1945, Adastra collected a second Anson, MG162, from Bairnsdale and ferried it to Sydney for similar photographic conversion. By October Follett angrily cabled DCA "Total loaded weight 7500 Ib limit completely useless for our operations and bring our survey work with Victorian Government to a standstill". He requested the limit be raised to at least 8200 Ib to allow VH-AGG to commence work. An internal DCA memo at the time comments "This is the story of the purchase of an unsuitable aircraft in the first instance". Following further protests from Adastra, the Department agreed to the 8200 Ib MAUW and VH-AGG was formally issued with a CofA at Mascot on 22 October 1945. Work commenced on the second Anson, which received its CofA as VH-AGO on 29 January 1946. That same month, at the height of the Australian summer, DCA conducted tests on excessi ve engine temperatures experienced by VH-AGG then based at Ballarat on its Victorian survey. Airspeed Oxford smooth engine cowlings loaned by the RAAF were
157
156
fitted to the Cheetah engine to replace the original close-fitting "helmet" cowlings, and the improved air flow over the engines caused a marked drop in cylinder head temperatures while giving no change to aircraft performance. This led to both Australian and British autorities adopting smooth Oxford-type cowlings for all civil Ansons. DCA then turned its attention to the glued wooden construction of the Anson mainplanes and tail plane. The Department was particularly concerned by RAAF advice of poor glue adhesion with the "Betel W" type glue used on some Anson production lines in England during wartime mass production. A structural integrity test was devised that required all civil Ansons, prior to their annual CofA renewals, to have 12 inch lengths cut from different positions along the front wing spar. If glue adhesion was found to be unsatisfactory the wing had to be completely rebuilt using "Casein" type glue. In most cases this would prove uneconomical and in effect the majority of Ansons which failed the glue test were permanently grounded. Australia's first civil Anson VH-AGG failed this glue test in the Adastra hangar at Mascot during August 1948. Adastra's protests that this aircraft was only four years old and been specially selected for them by the RAAF because of its excellent condition were in vain. It was broken up for scrap and the registration transferred to the first of the Lockheed Hudsons Adastra were purchasing for high altitude survey work. However, Adastra's other Ansons passed their glue tests, and more Ansons were put into service and flown successfully on photographic and magnetometer mineral survey operations for the company right up to the final Anson type grounding in June 1962. Despite Adastra Airways' trials in obtaining civil certification for the Anson, they were the basis for DCA agreeing to allow large numbers of RAAF disposal Ansons to be sold to civil operatiors. The Disposal Sales The end of the Pacific war and the demobilisation of Australian military forces to peacetime status left the RAAF with some 700 Ansons on strength, although most of the training school aircraft had already been retired and placed in open storage. RAAF HQ ordered a survey of all Ansons to select 80 to be held for postwar military use. These were aircraft which had logged low hours since their arrival from England, or which had recently completed major airframe overhauls and were in excellent condition. Because of their potential for civilian use, the remaining RAAF Ansons were offered to the newly formed Commonwealth Disposals Commission, who sold them to civil operators at the bargain price of [A250 each, or as low as [AlSO each for purchases of ten or more aircraft. Commencing in May 1946, some 180 Ansons were sold by CDC at a series of travelling disposals sales held at RAAF Stations across the country. The majority were quickly ferried to civil airfields for civil conversion or storage pending resale. Those Aosons left behind after the initial CDC sales of prospective airworthy aircraft were handed over to the Department of Aircraft Production for disposal as "aircraft remains". After evaluating the costs involved in scrapping, burning and even burying these unwanted Ansons and other ex RAAF types, DAP decided it was more cost efficient to offer them for public sale "as is - where is". Thus the vast majority of war weary Ansons plus all available RAAF Oxfords (which DCA were not prepared to consider for CofAs because of their particular glued wooden construction) were offered at a going price of [AS/l0/- per aircraft at sales at various RAAF Stations during 1947-48. It was stressed that these aircraft were not airworthy, and a sale proviso was that each airframe had to leave the airfield through the main station gates, thus ensuring that the wings had to be removed, usually by axe. Farmers were eager buyers, dragging their aircraft home behind trucks and using them as children's playhouses or stripping them for a multitude of useful components;
electrical wiring, perspex panels, steel tubing, engines etc. Many ingenious uses were devised for these old aircraft, several ending their days in fruit orchards as wind generators to prevent frost, mounted on turntable rotating gently at night with their Cheetah's idling! Twenty years later, aviation enthusiasts in South Australia located the derelict remains of more than 160 Ansons and Oxfords on farms around the State, survivors of the DAP disposals sales held at RAAF Stations Port Pirie, Mallala and ~lount Gambier. Several have since been recovered by museum groups. The first CDC Anson sale was W2145, to the NSW Police Department in May 1946, which became VH-AQV "Nemesis" and was used on police duti s in Sydney for the next four years. Next was W2260, sold from RAAF Station Geraldton, WA to the Flying Doctor Service, Kalgoorlie, WA on 1 June to become VH-AXC. On 8 June, DG731 was sold from RAAF Laverton, Vic to demobbed RAAF pilot W.T.Dwyer of Melbourne, the first of 13 Ansons he was to purchase for a proposed freight airlin~ Later in June, five Ansons were sold to Edward Loneragan of ~ludgee, NSW. Loneragan and his brother James were to combine with Sydney business man Eric McIllree to form a syndicate named Aircraft Disposals Co, Mudgee, the biggest Anson buyer, purchasing a total of 42 from the initial CDC sales. McIllree was a pioneer car rental operator in Sydney later establishing Avis Rent-a-Car in Australia, while the Loneragans had family businesses in the country town of Mudgee, including a large departmental store. Aircraft Disposals Co had its Ansons converted to civil aircraft by Sydney companies including Marshall Airways, ew England Airways and Airflite. The basic conversion consisted of long range fuel tanks to give 8 hours range, 8 passenger seats, rear locker, nose locker, electric starters, spinners, smooth engine cowlings and a radio.
They were then sold complete with a fresh paint scheme and Co fA for LA3,OOO. An optional extra was to fair over the original military glasshouses and provide individual passenger windows. McIllree was keen to establish overseas markets for the Ansons, personally ferrying several to England, Hong Kong and Singapore. He also financed several ventures in Papua New Guinea to operate some of their unsold Ansons. A table of the Aircraft Disposals Co purchases provides a good guide to the initial CDC sales phase. Following the CDC Anson sales and the subsequent DAP sales of aircraft "remnants", further disposals of RAAF Ansons held for postwar service took place in small batches during the 1950s. These later aircraft were offered for sale by tender and produced much higher prices until the final RAAF Anson was sold in 1957. 10 Civil Service
Between the initial Adastra Airways civil Ansons and the flood of CDC disposals Ansons in mid 1946, two other Ansons were civilianised in Sydney. ew England Airways stole the march on its competitores early that year when it acquired Ansons I NK950 from the Royal avy, which was in the process of withdrawing Fleet Air Arm detachments sent to the area in the closing stages of the war. NK950 was registered VH-ARK in June 1946 and with the name "City of Glen Innes" inaugurated the company's passenger and freight services to the northern SW towns. Ten more Ansons were then purchased from CDC at the RAAF Mallala sale in October, and most of these had entered service when New England Airways was purchased by competitor Butler Air Transport in May 1948. The other early Anson is a mystery. The portuguese Government sent a team to Australia early in 1946 to acquire aircraft for an aerial ambulance service in Portuguese Timor, off the North West Australian coast. Three RAAF Tiger Moths and an Anson were selected and given civil conversions to Australian CofA standards at Mascot Airport, Sydney during June 1946. The Anson was registered CR-AAT to Transportes Aereos de Timor and set off on its ferry flight to Timor on 16 July under the
command of Captain Costa, carrying three Fuerza Aerea portugal officers and an Australian passenger. Later that day the pilot became lost between Parkes and Broken Hill in western NSW and made a forced landing in remote country. They were located two days later, and the Anson was afterwards able to take off and continue its delivery flight via Alice Springs and Darwin finally reaching Dili, Timor on 31 July. The previous RAAF identity of this portuguese Anson is not known. Interestingly, another Anson was to follow to Timor the following year, when Suttons Motors, Sydney sold their VH-AYC (MG449) to TAT and it was ferried to Timor in April 1947 as CR-AFT. Then came the large numbers of CDC disposals Ansons. They were flown by a wide variety of small companies almost invariably operated by demobbed aircrew eager to continue flying in civil aviation. ~lany of these hastily formed concerns were ill-conceived and doomed to failure: passenger services to small country towns and ventures such as flying fresh fruit and vegetables to the outback were quickly victims of postwar austerity. However some of these companies did survive and the more significant ones are listed later. Ironically, one of the best fields for general passenger charter came from flying buyers to the numerous CDC sales of vast supplies of military equipment in remote parts of Western Australia, Northern Territory and Papua ew Guinea. Five Ansons flew buyers to ew Guinea for a particular sale in November 1946, all making the ocean crossing without radio and one, VH-AVZ of Interstate Air Services, Sydney crashed on arrival at Port Moresby. Such was the DCA concern that the Department ordered the remaining four Ansons to fly back to Australia in formation with a RAAF Catalina as escort. All subsequent Anson charters to the Territory were required to be fitted with radio. RAAF disposals and D.H.84 Dragon biplanes became the nucleus of the postwar rebirth of civil flying in mountainous Papua New Guinea. The most important early operator was Guinea Air Traders, which was formed at Lae in October 1946 with Ansons and quickly grew to a fleet of 13 Ansons, Hudson, DC-3s, C-39s, Dragons and Austers. GAT took over the lucrative Bulolo Gold Dredging Ltd contract to fly equipment and native workers to the goldfields at Wau and Bulolo, the job that had made the prewar Guinea Airways (no connection) one of the world's great airlines of the 1930s. GAT had a short but colourful career, ceasing operation in 1950 after losing the BGD work to Qantas. GAT had diverted its DC-3s to the Italy-Australian migrant charter run and had suffered a series of accidents, worst being their Lockheed Hudson VH-ALA which crashed on take-off at Lae in April 1948, killing the 4 GAT crew and no less than 33 native workers bound for Bulolo, the natives being loaded by weight rather than passengers as was the standard practice at that time. A detailed account of GAT and the other postwar ew Guinea air companies can be found in the well recommended "Balus - The Aeroplane in papua ew Guinea" by James Sinclair (Robert Brown, Australia, 1986). The Anson's mediocre climb performance was severely tested by the hot and humid papua ew Guinea conditions, and DCA invoked a series of weight restrictions. As mentioned earlier, the humidity also played havoc with the glued wooden construction of the mainplanes and tail plane, and GAT suffered the loss of four Ansons VH-AJJ, ALS, AST and BGD all grounded on a single day in November 1947 when a DCA airworthiness inspector checked their tail planes at Lae. Thick layers of green moss were found inside the tailplane structure. ~lost of the screws and tacks of the wooden joints were no longer in position, and a screwdriver could be pushed through the wing mainspars like a sponge. The end of Lae airfield was soon littered with abandoned GAT Ansons. Nevertheless the Anson is fondly remembered by GAT founder Sam Jamieson, who is quoted in "Balus": "people laughed when I said I was going to carry BGD's freight in little Ansons, but look what we did - we broke records! The Anson was a wonderful aircraft,
very
safe".
The Anson went on to a long association with papua New Guinea, with fleets operated by Goilala Air Services, Carsair and Patair until the final ew Guinea Anson VH-EFR was retired by Patair in October 1959. Western Australia saw the most widespread use of Ansons
on scheduled airline services. Two rival Perth companies, Airlines (WA) Ltd and MacRobertson Miller Aviation Co, both purchased RAAF Ansons from th first CDC sale at RAAF Station Geraldton, WA where 87 Ansons were lined up after the disbandment of 4 SFTS. Both companies rushed the first of their Ansons into civil service during 'ovember 1946 as 7 passenger airliners, and as more were converted they were flown over their wide-ranging routes throughout Western Australia. As well as scheduled passenger services, MMA based Ansons at Derby, port Hedland and Darwin to fly scheduled "Stations Services" to remote cattle properties and small settlements. ~HIA Ansons also operated the Royal Flying Doctor Service clinic runs to station properties in the orth West of the State, losing VH-MMG "De Gray" in February 1956 when it crashed during a thunderstorm while flying a sick child from Tableland Mission to Derby, killing all five on board. Airlines (WA) gradually replaced its Ansons with new D.H.l04 Doves, but after Dove VH-AQO crashed near Kalgoorlie in October 1952 when the port wing broke away in flight, the type was grounded pending investigation of the structural failure. Two more Ansons were quickly purchased and flown across to perth to continue services until the Doves were cleared. IMA replaced its Ansons with DC-3s on most services, although keeping the Ansons on the North West station runs and RFDS contracts until the late 1950s, when the one remaining Anson VH-MMH '~ardini' was converted for mineral survey work and continued with MMA in that role up until the final grounding in June 1962. It then returned to Perth from a survey contract in the north the day before grounding, to make a farewell circuit over Perth. A smaller Perth airline whose name was synonymous with the Anson was Woods Airways, which became a perth institution
with
its
daily
services
on "The
\-"orld's
Shortest Airline Route" from Perth to Rottnest Island (22 miles). Commencing in March 1948, the service was operated as a one-man airline by popular veteran Captain James Woods using Ansons VH-WAB and WAC. The DCA restriction on Anson over-water flights forced the service to end on New Year's Eve 1961, when a large crowd bade an emotional farewell to Jimmy Woods on his final departure from the resort island. Agricultural aviation is not a role normally associated with the Anson. However, Airlines (WA) Ltd used one of its Ansons (VH-BAU) for agricultural special duties for a number of years, commencing in 1947 with aerial dropping of poison meat baits for dingos (Australian wild bush dogs). This was a Western Australia State Government contract in the Meekatharra and Wiluna districts and the Anson was fitted with a specially made door with a chute for dropping the baits. The contract continued for another five years and later the company's Doves were also used. In October 1948 VH-BAU was fitted with a large spray bar under the fuselage and successfully conducted mosquito spraying near Perth later that month. Airlines (I,A) Ltd made further experiments in the newly developing field of aerial crop dusting, an Anson dumping superphosphate fertiliser from 100 feet. Another attempt had been made in Queensland to use Ansons in aerial seeding when Agricultural Aviation Services pty Ltd was formed during 1947 and Ansons VH-BVX and BVY purchased in september from MacQuarie Grove Flying School at Camden, NSI'. This pair had been purchased from CDC at RAAF Station West Sale, Victoria the previous year by MGFS manager Edward MacArthur-onslow, who arranged for Eric McIllree to ferry them to Camden aerodrome, near Sydney. They were flown in thei r RAAF markings fro:n West Sale to Camden in formation by McIllree and one of his pilots on 5 September 1946, and both commenced their CofA conversions.

When purchased by Agricultural Aviation Services, both Ansons were flown to Archerfield, where VH-BVY was fitted with specially designed spreading gear under wings. However a dispute with the designer led to DCA being unable to approve the installation, and VH-BVX was found to have been delivered with serious defects and returned to Camden to revert to MacQuarie Grove Flying School ownership. Meanwhile VH-BVY was parked in the open at Archerfield and soon fell derelict.

BUTLER AIR TRANSPORT PTY LTD, SYD EY Founded in 1934 by C.A. Butler at Cootamundra, NSW, it moved to Sydney in 1938 and developed NSW country airline services. During WWII, BAT was a civil contractor to the RAAF, assembling Ansons from the UK and carrying out major overhauls at its Mascot Aerodrome base. Postwar airline services were flown with DC-3s and Dragons until BAT purchased New England Airways in May 1948 and put five of their Ansons into service, selling off several others. In 1950 Anson VH-BAB was transferred to the BAT fleet from Queensland Airlines, in which BAT had assumed a controlling interest during 1947. The Ansons were replaced by Herons, and BAT grew to Viscounts and Ambassadors before being bought out by Ansett-ANA in March 1958 and reformed as Airlines of NSW the following year.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AVIATION, MELBOURNE Despite a less than enthusiastic attitude towards the Anson, by 1948 DCA was anxious to acquire medium sized communications aircraft, and two Ansons were purchased
from CDC at RAAF Station Benella, Vic. They remained stored for nearly a year before being flown to Essendon Airport, Melbourne for civil conversion. They proved well suited to the general flying duties required, so three more were bought and converted in the DCA hangars at Essendon. They joined a DCA mixed fleet of DC-3s, Lodestars, Austers, Tiger Moths and DHA-3 Drovers, with the Ansons being usually based out in the Regional Headquarters at Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and port Moresby. DCA Ansons were replaced by Aero Commanders in 1959, when the five Ansons were relegated to airport fire fighting practice. VH-CAB, CAC, CAD, CAK, CAL EAST WEST AIRLINES, TAMWORTH, NSW

R.\'.J.Charlier had formed Charterflite Aviation Service at Bankstown Airport, Sydney in 1949 with Ansons VH-BMS and BVX, but neither went into service. The following year Charlier set up Charter Aviation Service (Australasia) Ltd at Lae, PNG to take over the Guinea Air Traders establishment, and advertised the use of "Avro Feederliners", in fact VH-BMN, BMO and BMP. When Charter Aviation Service folded up in 1952 and its Ansons sold, one of its pilots, E.F.Reid, set up his own company Goilala Air Service to take over the operation, particularly the Tapini-Port Moresby route. Goilala Air Service commenced in January 1953 with Ansons VH-BDD followed by five more Ansons, with Reid holding two others in reserve. The company was wound up in 1957 following Reid's death.
Founded at port Moresby in August 1952 with a Waco biplane VH-UYD by C.R.Jackson, an experienced New Guinea pilot and engineer. A Fox Moth joined the Waco for charter work, then the first Anson VH-BMP was delivered in February 1953. Ansons became the backbone of the company, known to all as Patair, carrying 14 passengers on utility seating or 20001b freight. A DC-3 was introduced in October 1958, by which time accidents and glue deterioration had cut the Anson fleet, but they remained in service until October 1959 when the very last Anson in papua New Guinea, VH-EFR, finally retired, being replaced by a new Piaggio P.166. More Piaggios and DC-3s followed, and the renamed Papuan Airlines grew to become a major airline. In July 1970 it was purchased by Ansett Transport Industries (Operations) Ltd.

Sutton sold out several months later to Sam Jamieson, who took the Anson to Darwin then papua New Guinea with disposal sales buyers and found plentiful charter work at Lae. Guinea Air Traders was formed in October 1946 as a subsidiary of Australian Air Traders, and Ansons were purchased and flown to Papua New Guinea. Accidents and airworthiness groundings reduced the Anson fleet, and DC3s, C-39s and Hudsons were introduced on the main routes from Lae to Bulolo, Wau, Mount Hagen, Wewak and Aitape. GAT operated a total of 24 aircraft in Papua New Guinea during its short but spectacular life, and is credited with re-establishing civil aviation in New Guinea after the war.

Formed at Parafield Aerodrome, Adelaide in 1946 as Robbys Aircraft Repair Co by F.H.W.Robilliard and M.Bond with disposals Avro Cadet. Began as a maintenance organisation for Bonds Airways' Fairchild 24s, then established Adelaide Flying School with Tiger Moths and Ryan STMs. In 1951 a five year survey contract for the South Australia State Government was won, and a subsidiary Robbys Aircraft Co Ltd purchased two Ansons as well a spare Anson VHBJN which was ferried from Essendon and stored in their Parafield hangar for several years. Robbys' survey experience led them to supervise the Australian operation of Canadian Nickel Co's Anson V CF-HOT which passed through prest wick en route to Australia on 8 May 1957. After a year's magnetometer mineral survey work in the outback, this Anson was stored in Robbys' hangar at Parafield for some months before returning to Canada via England during 1959. It still flies today with Canadian Warplane Heritage. Robbys Aircraft went on to become a leading aerial agricultural company with Tiger Moths then Beavers, as well as a subsidiary Air Charter Ltd using a Dove for courier runs to the Maralinga atomic test grounds in the north of South Australia.

Other events, particularly the consitutional crisis in England, overshadowed the type's introduction into service. Much later the Anson was portrayed as a modern fighting machine, something it was not, but by then the public's fears had to be soothed at all costs.
TOWNSVILLE & COUNTRY AIRWAYS PTY LTD, TOW SVILLE, QLD
South Australia
Founded by ex-RAAF aircrew J.Montgomery, J.Davis and R.Casey to operate passenger and freight services from Townsville to inland towns. Commenced services in September 1947 on a 515 mile route Townsville-Charters Towers - Cloncurry - Mount Isa via intermediate ports with Ansons. They later added services to the remote Gulf towns of Normanton and Burketown. In February 1948 TAA began a DC-3 service Townsille - Mount Isa, undercutting the TACA fare, leading to a long battle in which TACA leased ANA DC-3s on the Mount Isa route. TACA finally ceased operations in November 1952 and all services were taken over by TAA.

When the Vickers Wellesley's of the RAF Long Range Development Flight toured Australia in ovember 1938, at the end of their record breaking flight, they were escorted by Ansons A4-23 and 45 from 21 Squadron and A4-28 and 30 from 22 Squadron, and flown by FIt Lt p.G.Heffernan and three crews from 4 Squadron. Delivery of leased Ansons was far more rapid than those ordered by the RAAF. The first, NI330 to NI332, were received at 1 AD on 22 'ovember 1938, and the last at 2 AD on 12 April 1939. Between 17-19 April 1939 eight RAAF squadrons combined with naval vessels and various merchantmen in a series of shipping exercises in waters between Port Stephens, SW, and Cape Otway, Victoria. Squadrons operating from Laverton were os. 1 (Demons), 2 (Ansons) and 21 (Ansons/Demons), and from Richmond 3 (Demons) and 22 (Ansons), while 6 (Ansons) was deployed to Canberra and 9 (Seagull V) to Mallacoota Inlet. 12 Squadron was deployed to the landing ground at Yanakie, Wilsons Promontory, for the exercises prior to its transfer to Darwin. At the conclusion of the exercises both the RAN and RAAF leaders expressed their satisfaction with the results obtained, indication improvements on the results obtained the previous year. As a consequence of Australia's declaration of war on Germany on 3 September 1939, various changes took place. Some were earlier preparations accelerated. Others were fresh initiatives which included the establishment of new stations and aerodromes (some to assist in coastal patrols in conjunction with RAN vessels), further expansion of the RAAF and the implementation of the Empire Air Training Scheme.
At that time, shipping played the major role in the transport of goods and materials between Australian capitals with particular emphasis between Adelaide Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane as well as the link to Tasmania. The railway system was hindered by the lack of a standard gauge between all states, and the road system was not then used for the large scale movements of goods. RAAF patrol flights operated in conjunction with naval movements, particularly in the January 1940 period when troop convoys sailed from ew Zealand and Australian waters for the Middle East. Initially the bulk of this task was performed by units equipped with the Ansons, but later other types (Hudson and Beaufort) shared the role. Evidence that German merchant raiders had reached ther area came with the discovery of mines in Australian waters
(from the orion) and the loss of merchant ships in Eastern waters (laid by the Pinguin and her auxiliary passat). The British registered Cambridge sank off Wilson Promontory on 7 November 1940, and next day the neutral American freighter City of Rayville sank off Cape Otway. Both vessels were lost due to mines, and Bass Strait was closed to all shipping until 14 November, when minesweepers had cleared the sailing routes. Other ships lost to or damaged by mines laid by Pinguin and Passat were the Nimbin (5 December 1940 off orah Head, NSW), Hartford (7 December off eptune Island, SA) and Millimumal (26 March 1941, 40 miles east of Sydney). All mines were laid under cover of darkness and the patrolling aircraft were not equipped to detect this nor could they identify the vessels, which regularly changed their appearance. These raiders achieved most of their success at sea, beyond the range of shore based aircrft, where superior armament and surprise lead to the capture or sinking of numerous merchant ships. The greatest success achieved, in both actual and propaganda terms, was the sinking of HMAS Sydney. On 19 ovember 1941 Sydney and the raid Kormoran fought an engagement off the West Australian coast which resulted in the loss of Sydney and her crew. Kormoran was later lost as a result of damage received in the battle. On 23 November a raft with 26 German seamen was recovered by the Aquitania, but radio silence was not broken to report the discovery. Next day Hudson aircraft from l4 Squadron conducted an unsuccessful search for Sydney, now several days overdue at Fremantle, Perth. During that same day a further 25 Germans were rescued by the tanker Trocas, which then broke radio silence. On 25 November a major air search was mounted from Carnarvon by 14 (Hudson) and 25 (Wirraway) Squadron and 4 SFTS (Ansons). One Ii feboat was discovered by an Anson which then guided a rescue vessel to it. For the Anson crews these long overwater flights, so far from land, were extremely trying. During the early months of the war much publicity was given to the establishment of the Empire Air Training Scheme. Once the Scheme was operating the publicity moved to other subjects, but the training flights continued, for they were the only means for airmen to gain experience. Although the Scheme was based on four basic machines the Tiger Moth and Wirrwaway for pilot training, the Anson for advanced/multi-engined training and the Battle for weapons
training -
various adjustments
were made to
incorporate other types. Despite this, the Anson still maintained its dominant position and was used by almost all of the advanced training schools. The first of the EATS Ansons, R3337, R3339 and R3342, were received at 1 AD on 23 May 1940. Delivereies continued for more than four years, the last major batch being delivered to No.1 Aircraft Park on 29 May 1944. Accidents continued to generate sensational stories in the press until the subject was concealed behind a wall of censorship. The collision between N4876 and L9162 received wide publicity after LAC L.G.Fuller suc:cessfully landed
162
the two aircraft near Brocklesby, NSW on 29 September 1940. Both machines were on a cross-country training flight from 2 SFTS at the time. unwanted publicity was received on 1 January 1941 when Anson NI333 from 1 SFTS collided with the mast of a fishing boat near Sorrento, Vic, and shortly afterwards the starboard engine ceased running. A forced landing was attempted in a park, resulting in the roofs being removed from two circus trailers, and a section of park railing being demolished, before the unfortunate aircraft passed between two pine trees. The wings were sheared off by the time the fuselage had stopped, but both crew members were uninjured and N1333 was repaired and returned to service. Japan's entry into the war soon renewed the risk to coastal shipping in Australian and Papua New Guinea waters. Losses and damage caused by bombing in northern waters, and by submarines as far south as the New South Wales/Victorian border, far exceeded that caused by the German raiders. Initially the threat was countered by both air and sea patrols and later by air only. Generally the patrols were without incident, although there were instances in which Ansons were present when submarines attacked ships. There is no record, however, of successful counter attacks being conducted by the Ansons. Some Ansons were lost at sea due to engine trouble which caused a forced landing. One example was LT296 which was forced down in Bass Strait on 19 November 1944. ext day the crew of three was rescued by SS Hororata en route to Melbourne. In recognition of the rescue, 67 Squadron presented the ship with a suitably inscribed propeller which was then mounted in the vessel's Officers Lounge. Another use for the Anson was for light transport and communication work. When used by the communication units the type became a veritable jack-of-all-trades. Many of these units were commanded by pilots of World War I vintage, who often displayed a most acquisitive skill in obtaining all manner of aircraft, including many an Anson, and performing the widest possible range of duties with them. Weather changes also had to be contended with. On the night of 24 February 1945, fog settled over Gippsland while 16 Ansons from the General Reconnaissance School at Bairnsdale were airborne. One aircraft landed at West Sale, but the others crashed or forced landed when they ran out of fuel. Three of the 60 crew members involved were killed, the unluckiest being in an Anson which struck a tree and crashed while on the final approach to Bairnsdale. It slewed around on the ground and struck a tree stump, killing the pilot outright and fatally injuring the observer.

One VIP example, Anson XII NLl53, was delivered to 2 AD on 30 January 1945 for use by the Governor General's Flight. This machine was operated in conjunction with an Avro York (MW140 "Endeavour") and a percival proctor. At the end of the war a small number of Ansons were retained for communication and training uses. Others were
kept in storage, but the majority had been disposed of by the end of 1954. During the late 1940s, Ansons from a number of units were used for fire patrols during summer, while others were loaned to the NSW Police and employed on radio and radar research duties in support of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (known as the Council for Scientific and Industrial research until 1949). Numbers of Ansons were converted to spares under a commercial agreement between the RAAF and Aeronautical Supply Co.Pty Ltd. In the case of two machines, however, the agreement resulted in a dispute which took some time to resolve. Ansons MH120 and MG270 were issued to Airflite (Training) pty Ltd, Bankstown in November 1948 for overhaul. The contract included overhaul and repair of two modified mainplanes from the spares held by Aeronautical Supoly Co and fitment to the aircraft. Some work had already been performed on the modified wings before they were condemned due to the deterioration of the glue joints in the spar booms and plywood webs of the lower centre section. Finally the overhaul was completed and MH120 returned to the RAAF on 12 October 1949. MG270, however, had its starboard engine fail on an acceptance test flight on 26 November 1949, the engine having been in storage since being overhauled in 1943; the aircraft was consequently not handed over until mid-January 1950. There had been previous examples of engine failure following lengthy periods of storage after overhaul. After this incident, Airflite recommended to its civilian customers that any engine stored for over 12 months be stripped and inspected prior to use. TwO C.19s, VM374 and VM375, were the last Ansons delivered to the RAAF, being received at 1 AD on 28 November 1947. Both were used at the Woomera Rocket Range on communications duties. VM375 was struck off charge on 21 March 1957, thus ending the Ansons's military career in Australia. The Anson was the most numerous type operated by the RAAF, entering service when the Bulldog and Demon were front line machines. By the time it was retired, the RAAF had entered the jet age with the Canberra and Sabre. Despite minimal attention given to the Anson in official histories, all servicemen who knew the type remember it with fondness.

RAAF OPERATING UNITS The following list analyses the main allocation of Ansons to individual RAAF units, as shown in official records. The dates given do not necessarily reflect the actual dates between which Ansons were on strength. The numbers given for each unit are the total number received, not the unit strength; in some instances large numbers were held in storage. The figure for 1 SFTS includes those for FTS I SFTS(ATS) and 1 SFTS(ITS), all of which merged into 1 SFTS; it evidently also includes some aircraft received from the UK tor erection, and which were not actually on unit training strength. The Communication Flights were upgraded on 29 October J943 to become Communication Units (occasionally referred to incorrectly as Communications Squadrons); some were known as (or became) Local Air Support Units.
In 1942 a number of training units were instructed to create the framework for reserve squadrons within the unit. The Anson reserve squadrons were used for coastal patrols, and numbered between 66 and 73, though Nos.68 and 70 never existed outside their parent units, respectively Nos.4 and 6 SFTS. units which were activated had their own aircraft allocated, and are included in the list. Code allocations are given, though these were not necessarily carried. The pre-war single letter codes were allotted in numerical sequence of squadron, no provision being made for an individual letter to identify the actual aircraft. This system was later replaced by the RAF type of identification, comprising a two-letter unit combination and an individual letter.

196 RCAF OPERATING UNITS The British Commonwealth Air Training plan Under the terms of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, instigated in December 1939, many new training units were to be set up in Canada to provide instruction for both RAF and RCAF flying personnel. These new units initially came under the control of No.1 Training Command, which formed at Toronto on 1 January 1940 from the RCAF's prewar Air Training Command. In the new organisation, those units intended for the instruction of Canadian personnel were numbered between I and 30, whilst those earmarked for RAF personnel had identifying numbers from 31 onwards. As the Plan expanded, three additional Training Commands were set up, and the four then operated on a geographical basis, No.2 Training Command having its headquarters at Winnipeg, No.3 at Montreal and No.4 at Regina (later Calgary). Once fully operational, No.1 controlled training units in Ontario, No.2 mainly those in Manitoba and part of Saskatchewan, No.3 those in Quebec Province, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, and No~ those in Alberta, British Columbia and the remainder of Saskatchewan. The first British-built Ansons arrived in Canada in February 1940, and eventually 1,528 Mk.Is were received. However, initial supplies were much slower in arriving than had been planned, and by the beginning of June 1940 only 59 had been received. As a consequence, some Service Flying Training Schools had either to open with very few aircraft or to start training with single-engined aircraft, converting to Ansons when these eventually turned up in sufficient numbers. AS mentioned elsewhere, many of the Mk.Is were later modified to Mk.III or Mk.IV standar~ To overcome the difficulties, production lines were set up to produce a Canadian variant designated the Mk.II, and Mks.V and VI were also built later in Canada. The Canadian units were organised on a similar basis to their RAF counterparts, Ansons being mainly used by Air Navigation Schools, Air Observer Schools, Bombing and Gunnery Schools and Service Flying Training Schools. In the early stages, existing schools were shipped complete to Canada from the United Kingdom.
A new BCATP was signed in Ottawa on 5 June 1942. Taking effect on 1 July, this extended operation of the plan until 31 March 1945. Under the new agreement, Canada had a much greater control, including full integration of the British schools into the plan. By the time the new agreement ended, a total of 159,340 pupils had been accepted for training. Of these 131,553 had graduated, comprising 42,110 British (including Allied nationals), 9,606 Australia, 7,002 New Zealand and 72,835 RCAF aircrew. A large proportion of these trained on the Anson. The Anson Mk.V The Anson Mk.V was a redesigned version, built in Canada to an RCAF specification. Its fuselage was entirely new, being constructed in five sections of Vidal moulded plywood veneer bonded by synthetic resin glues. The second (or "B") section, which contained the pilot's cockpit, was braced by a tubular steel structure carrying attachments to the nose section and to the forward bulkhead ring at the front spar. It housed two pilots, many machines being fitted with dual controls. Three circular windows were fitted either side of the fuselage, the first navigator, radio operator and second navigator all being seated on the port side. In the nose was a bomb-aimers compartment, a large transparent panel giving a clear view below. The single fin was also made of moulded veneer, being integrated with the rear (or "E") section of the fuselage. The remainder of the tail and wing surfaces were basically similar to those of the earlier versions of the Anson. The inner wing spars each contained a bomb bay, both having a capacity of up to four light bombs, and provision was made for eight further bombs under the fuselage. As an alternative, emergency flares or photographic flashes could be carried. The fuselage could accommodate cameras for taking either vertical or oblique photographs, and sea markers, flame floats or smoke floats could be carried for navigation over water. The manufacturer's diagram below shows the layout of the Mk.Vs flying controls.

250 SAAF OPERATING UNITS
As part of the Empire Air Training Scheme, large numbers of RAF aircrew were trained in South Africa during the Second World War. In all, over 33,000 pupils qualified, including more than 20,000 for the RAF. Many of these flew in Ansons, initially at schools transferred from the United Kingdom, then later at new schools. At first some of these units had fairly similar names to equivalent RAF establishments. Others, however, were organised as Combined Air Observer, Bombing and Gunnery Schools. These were of two types, Type "A" were responsible for the whole range of navigation, bombing and gunnery training, whilst Type "B" schools only undertook navigation and bombing. The term Air School was adopted under an order dated 11 November 1940, and with effect from 30 April 1941 this style of name was standardised for all SAAF schools, though in practice some still continued to use the old titles for several months. Ansons were mainly used by crew training units, these being numbered 41 AS onwards, but some were also allocated to advanced training schools, numbered 61 AS onwards. The main units with Ansons on strength were: 0.41 Air School Formed on 30 December 1940 as a Combined "A" Type School at Collondale (East London), it was first known for a time as No.1 Combined Air Observer, Navigator and Bombing and Gunnery School. Ansons were received in July 1941, being initially coded A to Z, followed by Al to Zl then A2 to G2. The coding system was changed in April 1944, and the unit then used VA to VZ, XA to XO, YA to YZ and ZA to ZZ. The unit disbanded on 18 May 1945.

Unidentified shipments I t has been possible to identify previous RAF serials in most instances, though in a few cases they are unconfirmed. None are known for five SAAF aircraft, these being 3144, 4264, 4358, 4359 and 4381. Curiously, there are seven aircraft listed in RAF records as having been shipped to South Africa, but whose subsequent identities are unknown:

SRAF AND RATG OPERATING UNITS AND INDIVIDUAL HISTORIES On 19 September 1939, the Southern Rhodesia Air Force was formed from the small Southern Rhodesia Air Unit. Aircraft were given serial numbers commencing at SR.l, but new issues in this series were suspended on 28 June 1940, when SRAF Headquarters became the Rhodesian Air Training Group of the RAF, commanded until March 1945 by Air Vice Marshal C.W.Meredith. The RATG operated a number of Anson Is,
all shipped out The main user was the Moffat-based unit, which opened on 3 August 1941 as No.24 Combined Air Observers School, though it had originally been intended to give it the rather cumbersome name of No.24 Combined Air Observer Navigation and Bombing and Gunnery School. The name was again changed on 1 May 1943, to No.24 Bombing Gunnery and avigation School, the unit disbanding on 13 April 1945. Other units to use the Anson in small numbers were: via South Africa and retaining RAF serials.

The RATG survived for a time in skeleton form, commanded f rom March 1945 by Air Commodore G.G.Banting. Anson Mk.XII PH826 was sent out in September 1945 for the personal use of the Prime Minister, the Rt.Hon. Sir Godfrey Huggins, PC, CH, KCMG, FRCS, LRCP, MP (he became Viscount Malvern in 1955). On I December 1946 the Group became the basis of the Rhodesian Air Training Wing, formed to administer a new postwar RAF training scheme. The Southern Rhodesian Air Force was reformed in November 1947, and this revived the SR serial number sequence for its own aircraft. These included three Anson C.19s for use by No.3 Squadron at Cranborne (later New Sarum) : SR29 ex VL356. To RRAF29. Sold 1956 as VP-YNX SR30 ex VM335. To RRAF30. Sold 1956 as VP-YNY SR31 ex VM337. To RRAF31. Sold 1956 as VP-YNZ The RATW was re-elevated to Group status on 7 May 1948. A few wartime Ansons remained, and these were supplemented by numbers of others flown out from the UK. Air Vice Marshal N.S.Allinson took over in December 1949, being replaced in 1951 by Air Vice Marshal H.H.Brookes. The RATG continued from 1953 under Air Vice Marshall G.Bearne. until the last of its units disbanded on 17 June 1953. Postwar RATW!RATG units with Ansons on strength were: 4 FTS Formed 23.4.47 at Heany. Its navigation section, equipped with Anson Is, combined with that of 5 FTS 1.48 to form 3 ANS.

14 Anson Mk.Is were ordered in 1941, and these were supplied direct to the Royal New Zealand Air Force. 10 machines arrived at Auckland in SS Kent on 10 July 1942, becoming NZ401 to NZ410. A further 4 arrived in SS Mahia on 5 August 1942, to become Z411 to NZ414. It is conjectured that these may have taken up part of the c/n range 1133-1151 originally earmarked for Turkish Ansons. A second order was placed for 9 machines, of which 4 arrived at Auckland in SS FordsdaIe on 12 June 1943 to become NZ415 to NZ418, 3 in SS Port Sydney on 15 July 1943 to become NZ419 to NZ421, and 2 in SS LS.138 on 31 August 1943 to become NZ422 and NZ423.

The Ansons were used initially by the School of General Reconnaissance at Omaka, Blenheim, this moving on 15 October 1942 to Bell Rock, New Plymouth. It was renamed the School of Navigation and Reconnaissance in January 1943, eventually disbanding on 9 November 1945. The remaining Ansons then went into store at No.1 Flying Training School, Wigram, but 8 were re-activated in 1948, 4 going to the Air Navigation School at Wigram and 4 to the Canterbury Project Flight. The type was declared surplus during 1953/54, being superseded by the Devon. NZ401 NZ402 NZ403 NZ404 NZ405 NZ406 NZ407 NZ408

This unit was renamed No.169 Wing on 1.4.47, and Transportflight then became No.366 Squadron, whilst Verbindingsflight became No.367 Squadron. A further change occurred on 1.2.48 when Force Aerienne Belge/Belgische Luchtmacht (Belgian Air Force) was created, having previously been known as the Militaire Luchtvaart/ Aeronautique Militaire (Military Aviation). As a consequence all the units except NosJ49 and 350 Squadron were renamed, and No.169 Wing became No.15 VVW (Vervoers en verbindings Wing), with No.366 and 367 Squadrons becoming respectively No.20 Smaldeel (or Escadrille) for transport and No.21 Smaldeel for communications. Aircraft of 15 VVW used call signs CN, CW and ZC, of which No.21 Squadron had CW and ZC, examples being Dominie 05 ZC-N, Hurricane THS52 plain ZC and Anson NBI ZC-A. On 8.8.49 the Belgian Ministry of Communications allocated radio call signs OTZAA to OTZZZ and OTCAA to OTCZZ to the Air Force. As a consequence many of the existing call signs painted on the aircraft were changed so that, for instance, ZCA did not necessarily become OTZCA. With the arrival of DC-4s in 1950, No.21 Smaldeel was split into two flights, being Verbindingsflight (Communications Flight) and (Long Range Flight) (named as such, with no Belgian name), the latter having the DC-4s. The unit moved in that year to Melsbroek. The only other Belgian unit to use the Anson was No.7 Wing. This was a fighter formation, created in 1950 with Meteor F.8s, and as these were produced at the Fokker factory and stored at Wevelgem, an Anson I was provided as a communications or pilot ferry (hack) aircraft. The Belgian military Ansons were eventually replaced in 1954 by Percival Pem brokes.

The Verbindingsflight arrived from Hendon on 15 August 1946, initially with 2 Anson Xlls (PH697 and PH767), 5 Dominies (NR805, NF874, NF868, NR686 and NR688) and 6 Hurricane IIC's (LFI65, LF345, LF658, PG554, PZ754 and PZ769).

EGYPT Avro 652 Mk.II c/n 891 was supplied in November 1936 as SU-AAO to the Egyptian Army Air Force (later renamed the Royal Egyptian Air Force). It later became W204. Three Anson Mk.ls were also delivered in 1938, being transferred from an RAF order. They were for use by a bomber/transport squadron (which also flew Westland Wessex W202, ex G-ABVB). In 1939 the Ansons were with No.3 Communications Sqdn, and later joined No.4 General Purpose Sqdn to augment its Hawker Harts: W205 to W207 (ex N9648, N9657 and N9666 respectively).

Prior to the outbreak of WW II, the Ansons were mainly engaged in twin-engine training, but they were also used for aerial photography. AN-I03 crashed in February 1940, during the Winter War, but the other two were used during the Continuation War for instrument and radio training. They were also used for passenger transport, journeys being made in 1943, for instance, to Latvia, Germany and Switzerland. AN-I02 was flown in skis during the winter of 1942/43, but was written off in the winter of 1943. AN-I0l survived, however, until 1947, when it made its last flight.

By 1944/45 there were two squadrons of Ansons, strength unknown, No.3 (Communications) Sqdn and No.4 (Bomber) Sqdn both being based at Almaza, near 'Cairo. Eight Ansons were on strength in January 1949 of which four were serviceable. By 12.53 only one survived, serving with No.4 Squadron from Jelwan/EI Dekhelia air base within the Navigational Trainers Unit.

Anson I AN-102 of Finnish AF, 3 March 1943 (Eino Ritaranta;
In 1936 the Finnish Air Force (Suomen Ilmavoimat) ordered three unarmed Anson Is. The first two Finnish Anson pilots, T.Hannus and A.Lunnela, were trained at Woodford by Flt.Lt.Gillan, and the first machine, AN-101, left Woodford for Finland on 27 September. It flew to Utti in stages, making intermediate stops at Croydon (to clear customs), Schiphol, Hamburg, Malmo, Stockholm and Turku.

The aircraft were used initially by LAs6, which had been based at Tervaniemi seaplane base, near Viipuri in southern Finland (annexed by Russia in 1944). LAs6 was a maritime unit, having only one squadron, LLv44, then equipped with Blackburn Ripon IIF and Junkers K.43 float planes. With the arrival of landplanes, the base was moved on 16 November 1936 to nearby Suur-Merijoki airfield, but the first Anson had already arrived there before that date. As Bristol Blenheims were also on order, the Air Force was busy training twin-engine pilots, the first sortie with AN-I01 being flown on 8 October. The designation of LAs6 was changed on 1 January 1937 to LentoR 4, and on 10 October 1939 this unit moved to Luonetjarvi airfield, near Jyvaskyla in central Finland. A notable event took place on 15 May 1938 during the inauguration air show of Malmi Airport, Helsinki. Warrant Officer (later Captain) Aarne Lunnela had become the first twin-engine aerobatic pilot in Finland, and on that day, after some previous practice, he enthralled the crowds by performing two loops in an Anson.
The bases and locations were as follows: ErLLv (Erillinen Lentolaivue or Detached Squadron) Based at Helsinki in April 1939 IlmavE (Ilmavoimien or Air Force Headquarters) Located at Helsinki LeV (Lentovarikko or Flight Depot) Located at Kuorevesi LAs6 (Lentoasema or Flight Station 6). Based at SuurMerijoki 6.10.36 until 16.11.36, then to Immola November 1936. Unit redesignated LentoR 4 on 1 January 1937 LLv42 (Lentolaivue, or Squadron 42) Based Juva in February 1940. At Luonetjarvi by April 1941 LLv44 Based at Tervaniemi until 16.11.36, then to SuurMerijoki. At Immola by August 1938, then at Kemi by May 1940 LLv46 Based at Immola in January - February 1938, then Luonetjarvi by September 1941 LeLv48 (LeLv = later form of LLv) Based Luonetjaarvi on November 1941 LentoR 4 (or LeR 4) Formed 1 January by redesignating LAs6 at Immola. Moved to Luonetjarvi 10.10.39. (T-LentoR 4 was a supplementary unit) T-LeLv17 (T = Taydennys or Supplementary) At Pori in June 1941, then Luonetjarvi by December 1942 - March 1943 VL Tampere (Valtion Lentokonetehdas or State Aircraft Factory) located at Tampere

272 FRANCE Free French Air Forces In
May
1943 eight Anson Is were delivered to the Forces Francaises Libres (Free French Air Forces) in West Africa, these being EG351, Er.352, EG355, EG356, EG359, EG360, EG363 and EG364. They were followeq in December 1944 by a further nine for use by Groupe Artois at Pointe Noire in French Equatorial Africa (now Congo) W1891, LT668, NK896, NK903, NK904, NL130, NL142, LI46 and NL151. [NK985 has also been reported as one of this later batch, but is suspect as it is shown in British records as having gone to the RHAF].
A~riennes
Groupe Artois had been formed on 3 August 1942 for coastal defence, its first operation being carried out on that date. It was successively commanded by Commandants Bonnafe, Kopp and Morel. It operated 6 Lysanders and 7 Ansons, though a report dated May 1943 refers to 9 Ansons being then on strength.
AOF Ansons served in EPS (Escadrille de Police et de Securite) 1/81, renamed Groupe "Soudan" on 1.12.46. In 1947 this was split into two overseas squadrons or EO~ls (Escadrille d'Outre-Mer), both based at Bamako (Soudan). The first detachment of Ansons was delivered to AOF in September 1947 from Pau, led by Captain [1umoulin. It comprised (NK?)228, MG240, NK37R and NK640, the route being Pau - Marignane - Ajaccio - Sidi Ahmed - Blida Oujda - Rabat - Agadir - Tindouf - Ilir Nogren - Atar Dakar. On 6 October 1948, five more aircraft flew from Pau to Bamako, being DJ316, LVI40, NK545, NK638 and NK644. Groupe 1/16 Artois Formed 3.8.42 at Pointe Noire. "Arras" and
"Bethune".

Arml!e de L'Air After VE-DAY, surviving Ansons were absorbed into the reestablished Armee de L'Air (French Air Force). In addition, between 1945 and 1947, over 200 Mk.Is were supplied from surplus stocks the United Kingdom. The official total of machines transferred on or after VE-Day is 233. No official list of serial numbers appears to have survived in either British or French records, however, and it has not proved possible to reconcile this figure. The Ansons were shared in roughly equal proportions between home-based training squadrons and overseas units, the latter being employed on police, security and border patrol duties.
Based at Pointe Noire (initially Brazzaville?). Unit number possibly I/R4, though this has also been quoted for the EPS at DjiboutL EPS "Bethune" Believed based Douala initially, then later Bangui. Unit number maybe 1/83. Became EOM.83 in 1947. Groupe "Soudan"
Formed 1.12.46. Comprised Escadrilles "Niger" and Mauritanie".
EPS "Mauritanie"
Formed at Bizerte and moved to Bamako in 1947. Unit number probably 1/81. Became EOM.81 in 1947.
Training units BE.701 (Base Ecole 701) or EcoLe de L'Air The French Military Academy at Salon-de-Provence (Bouches du Rhone), roughly equivalent to the RAF College, Cranwell. In 1949 it had on strength 31 Ansons in addition to 3 Toucans, 1 Goeland, 14 AT-6s and 63 M.S.250/315s. Its call signs were F-TKAA to F-TKAZ and F-TKBA to F-TKBZ. BE.702 At Avord, near Bourges (Cher) for multi-engine conversion. Detachments to Cazaux (south of Bordeaux, near Arcachon Bay). Ansons replaced by Martinets. BE.703 Radio training school at Pall. Transferred to Fes in 1949. BE. 705 Ecole de Debut et Transformation, the basic training school at Cognac, Charente used a few Ansons. Transferred to Marrakech in 1949. Became BE709. BE.706 or EMNB Ecole de Mitrailleurs, Navigateurs, Bombardiers at Cazaux (Gironde), later Tours (Indre-et-Loire). The School of Machine-gunners, Navigators, Bombardiers, its strength in 1949 was 31 Ansons and also 11 Martinets, 35 Wellingtons, 2 Criquets and 40 other types. The Ansons were coded between about '32' to '87'. Storage EAA.601 (Entrepot de l'Armee de L'Air 601) at Chateauroux (Indre) was the main storage unit. To Chateaudun in 1951. OYerseas Use The main overseas use was in Afrique Occidentale Francaise (AOF) , this being the Federation of French Territories in Western Africa, comprising (until 1958) Cote d'Ivoire, Dahomey (now Benin), Guinee, Haute-Volta (Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso), Mauritanie, Niger, Senegal and Soudan. A few were also used in in Afrique Equatoriale Francaise (AEF), whose capital city was Brazzaville, and which comprised Tchad, Oubangui-Chari, Congo and Gabon. The AEF Ansons served with EPSs, then with EOMs.
EPS "Niger" Believed in AOF as early as 1945/46. Unit number 2/82. Became EOM.82 in 1947. (It is possible that EPS 1/82 and 3/82 may also have existed) EOM.81 "Mauritanie" Formed 1947 ex EPS authorised strength of by 1949 to 8 plus 5 25.11.50, and replaced
"Mauritanie" at Bamako. Had an 4 Ansons in October 1947, increased reserves. Ceased Anson flying on by M.S.315s.
EOM.82 "Niger" Formed 1947 (1.8.47?) ex EPS "Niger" at Bamako, later moving to Gao. Had an authorised strength of 4 Ansons in October 1947, increased by 1949 to 8 plus 5 reserves. Replaced by NC70ls in 1948. Disbanded 1951. EOM.83 "Bethune" Formed 1947 (6.47?) ex EPS "Bethune" at Bangui. Had an authorised strength of 8 Ansons in October 1947, increased by 1949 to B plus 5 reserves. replaced by NC70ls in 1948 and M.S.3l5s in 1951.

Aeronautique Navale Following the so-called "Accords omy" of late 1945, which provided for delivery of British aircraft to the French avy, an initial batch of 20 Ansons was delivered during the spring and early summer of 1946 to Aeronautique avale (French Naval Aviation), usually abbreviated to Aeronavale. A few more were apparently obtained at a later date, and further Ansons were transferred in June 1949 from the Armee de L'Air. The negotiator of this agreement, Contre-Amira1 (RearAdmiral) Nomy, then head of French aval Aviation, was a prominent figure, later to become Chief of Staff of Marine Nationale. He helped restore French Naval Aviation to operational status during the difficult immediate postwar years, and was a major instrument in maintaining naval
aviation, both shipboard and long range coastal, under Naval command. His close relationship with the British enabled him to obtain deliveries of naval aircraft, as well as RAF general reconnaissance aircraft such as Welling tons and Sunder lands for naval use. Deliveries of the initial batch of Ansons under this deal were completed by mid-1946, most going at first to Les Mureaux naval air station, near Paris. This was the home of Section de Reception et Convoyage (SRC), the naval acceptance and ferry unit, under the technical command of AeronavalL They were taken into unit service as follows (correct strength for second half of 1946): (1) Communications flights, squadrons and station "hacks"

Naval squadron and unit use of the Anson was as follows:
Based at Lanveoc-poulmic in Finistere, Britanny, this was originally created as Escadrille d'Instruction de L'Ecole avale (EIE). Equipped with two French-built Ju52's (AACIs) and a few Stinsons and assorted trainers, this soon became Escadrille 50S under the postwar system. Sited next to the French Naval Academy (Ecole Navale), the unit undertook officer training, as the syllabus for cadetslmidshipman included some aviation training. Many different types were on strength in 1946-47, including 4 Ju52/AAC-1s (withdrawn in 1947), about 10 light aircraft (mostly Stinsons), 2 MS.500/502s and half a dozen gliders (Caudron C-800s and Castel 301S). During the early postwar years, the Ansons participated in the so-called "Croisiere Aerienne de L'Ecole Navale", which involved young officers just out of the Naval Academy on a tour of places of military interest. They were also flown in Ansons to culminate their training in aeronautical matters at the academy. On 25 July 1947, 8 Ansons and 10 AAC-Is left on the first annual "croisiere" (cruise), visiting Brest, Friedrichshafen (then in the French Zone of Germany, and a former French naval base from 1945), Ajaccio (Corsica), Cuers (near Toulon) and Bordeaux, returning home on 7 August. The 1948 cruise took place between 1 and 13 July and involved 3 Ansons and 10 AAC-Is, which visited Cognac, Bordeaux, Cuers, Lyons, Dijon, Friedrichshafen, Strasbourg, Metzl ancy, Verdun, Dunkerque, Amiens and finally Rheims before returning home. 50S aircraft were coded in blocks of ten within the unit, Ansons being in the second block, coded 50S.10 to 50S.19 (call signs respectively F-YFAK to F-YFAS), as follows:
Escadrille 50S/Ecole Navale:
6 + 3
Escadrille 52S:
6 + 3
It is clear from this that 20 Ansons were then in Aeronavale service, but one had already been lost on 25 Nay 1946 in the Pyrenees while on a delivery flight from the ferry uni t. The Aeronavale inventory for the first four months of 1947 remained unchanged, except for the deletion of the British based aircraft (presumably with the termination of the French Naval Mission in the UK), and the addition of a reserve aircraft at Cherbourg. By April 1947, therefore, the inventory had become: (I) Communications Flight:
Querqueville
(2) Training Squadron:
50S 52S
+ 6 + 3
6 + 3
This makes 20 aircraft. The intended aircraft for Shipboard Aviation was no longer mentioned in 1947 records, and 1 + 1 NC-702 twin-engined communications aircraft were now on strength with Escadrille 54S, at the disposal of ALPA (Amiral Porte-Avions), the flag officer for shipboard duties, who also flew his own SBo-5 and Nord Noralpha.
Following a reorganisation of French Naval Aviation training squadrons, Escadrille 56S formed on 3 October 1948 from the old 52S, remaining an EPV squadron i.e. training non-pilot flying personnel and radar specialists. It used Ansons for a short time before re-equipping in 1951 with SNCASO SO-94 and SO-95 and also Ju52s. The squadron complement in 1949150 was 13 aircraft of various types, reaching 20 in 1951 by which time the Ansons had been withdrawn. The squadron moved around that time to Agadi r, orocco.

Escadrille 52S This was another training squadron, based at Lartigue, near Oran, in Algeria, then French territory. It trained non-pilot personnel for Ecole du Personnel Volant ~EPV). Base Aeronautique avale Lartigue, named in 1941 after a Rear-Admiral killed in 1940 during the German advance into France, is probably more familiar as Tafaroui, prominent in accounts of the "Operation Torch" landings of November 1942. Aircraft in service at the school in 1945 included a couple of Glenn Martin 167Fs, Catalinas, a handful of Walruses, and a few Ju52s and Wellingtons, plus an elderly Caudron Simoun hack. At least two Ansons were on strength by 1946 for navigational radio and beam training, Nos.25 and 26 being almost certainly 52S.25 and 52S.26. Codes appear to have also included 52S.32, 52S.37 and 52S.39. The unit became Escadrille 56S on 1 October 1948 and unit numbers were evidently retained, for instance 52S.33 almost certainly becoming 56S.33 and the like.
Querqueville This naval station near Cherbourg, in Cotentin, had one Anson in 1946 and two by 1947, being used for local training and VIP communication flights. It was known as the "Section de Liaison de Querqueville" but only flew 20 hrs 45 min in August and September 1947. It apparently came under the control of Escadrille IS during the latter part of that year, and during the first quarter of 1948 it flew 68 hrs 50 min. There are no records of flights for the next two quarters, but 38 hrs 35 min were logged in the last quarter of 1948, finally dwindling down to 3 hrs 30 min early in 1950. Grande Bretagne A single Anson probably remained in the UK for a short time during 1945-46 as a VIP communications aircraft. The aval Attache had to be highly competent as he liaised with both the Admiralty and the RAF, and he had to be a pilot. In December 1946 the attache was Capitaine de Vaisseau Sala, a prominent figure in the Aeronavale, who was soon to reach flag rank. Aviation Embarquee One Anson was earmarked for use by Contre-Amiral Jozan, then commanding the aircraft carrier force under development at Naval Air Station Hyeres, east of Toulon in southern France. Instead, however, he later received a French-built Siebel, flying meanwhile an SBD-5 for shipboard landings, as well as other light communications aircraft. SES Les Mureaux and later Escadrille lIS The Section d'Entrainement et de Servitude, at Les Mureaux (near paris) was a local Flight. Anson "608" (presumably EG608) was probably flown there by 1946 to as late as March 1950. It very likely carried code letters PA (for paris) followed by a numeral, and when the HQ Flight became Escadrille liS on 9 April 1948 it probably changed to 'II S' followed by a numeral. Les Mureaux was also the home of the Section de Reception et de Convoyage (SRC), a ferry and acceptance flight which operated every type of aircraft in service with Aeronautique Navale, but rarely had aircraft of its own. Ansons do not seem to have been permanent there though, regrettably, the first fatal Anson crash happened to an SRC crew in May 1946, three being killed. Servicing and overhaul The Ansons were overhauled by a French company, FOVGA, at Aire-sur-Adour in south west France (Department des Landes) • Miscellaneous '834' Reported "displayed" in car-breakers yard at Villeneuve St.Georges, S of Paris, 1953 At least 3 Armee de L'Air and I Aeronavale Ansons as instructional airframes to BA.721 at Rochefort-Soubis (Charente Maritime).

Ansons in
aval Service
Full histories of French naval Ansons are not available. Delivery dates are as listed in British records, and other details have been extracted mainly from occasional records or log books. SOC dates are given where known, though these are paperwork dates and could be long after the aircraft was withdrawn from use. The Ansons were temporarily grounded on 14 August 1950, possibly pending an analysis of crashes in Armee de L'Air or Aeronavale service due to wing failure. As they were badly needed they were flown again for a time, but following the crash of LT837 they were permanently grounded, none being recorded on unit strength by the beginning of 1951. On 16 January 1951 the 18 survivors were officially struck off charge. From that date they ceased to be protected from the weather and/or kept under maintenance and, wherever possible~ instruments and other equipment were cannibalised for re-use on other types. Known details of Aeronavale Ansons are:

IRAQ The Iraqi Air Force was formed at Hinaidi on April 1931, but information on the use of Ansons is scanty. It has been stated that several were in use by 1938, but this seems unlikely. 33 Ansons (Mk.I?) were purchased in 3.46, but it is not known where from. Unconfirmed reports suggest Ansons were used as early as 1943 against Kurdish tribes in Northern Iraq. By 7.49 only 15 were in use, by No.7 Squadron from Baghdad. The fleet had been further reduced to just 10 aircraft by 10.50, and these are all believed to have been struck off charge by 1952/5~ IRELAND

When Ireland gained its independence in 1921 and established the Irish Army, its air arm became known as the Irish Air Service. In 1924, following a reorganisation of the Army it was renamed the Irish Army Air Corps, this title becoming Irish Air Corps in 1956. In early August 1936 the Irish Department of Defence issued a requirement for a twin-engine aircraft for general reconnaissance duties with the Irish Army Air Corps. Both German and British manufacturers were invited to tender, but the former showed no interest. However, Avro's responded favourably, and as a consequence two Anson Is (c/n's 980 and 981 serialled A19 and A20 respectively) were delivered to Baldonnel aerodrome (now named Casement aerodrome) on 20 March 1937, piloted by Army Air Corps personnel. These were the first monoplanes, and the first aircraft with retractable undercarriages, to enter service with the Corps. Two further aircraft (c/n's 1033 and 1034 serialled A21 and A22 respectively) were delivered on 19 January 1938. The 'A' prefixes (which denoted Avro) were later dropped. These aircraft were fitted with a 0.303in Lewis gun in the upper turret and a fixed forward firing 0.303in Vickers gun in the nose. Together with a single De Havilland and D.H.Dragon II (c/n.6060 serialled DH.18, formerly G-ACNI) purchased in March 1937, these comprised the equipment of the newlyformed No.1 Reconnaissance and Medium Bombing Squadron at Baldonnel. Squadron aircraft initially had their fuselages and engines painted light green, the wings being silver. The nationality colours of green, white and orange stripes were painted on the rudder and also on the outer edges of the upper and lower surfaces of the wings, whilst the serial numbers were painted in white on the fuselage sides. From 1938 this paint scheme was replaced by a camouflage pattern of dark earth and dark green upper surfaces, with matt black undersides, fuselage serials being now in black. Nationality stripes were retained under the wings, but the Ansons now introduced a new green and orange Celtic boss design on the upper wing surfaces and fuselage sides. A further five Anson Is, allotted Air Corps numbers 41 to 45 inclusive, were delivered to Baldonnel on 2 February 1939, being part of an order for 12 machines. These had been diverted from an RAF contract, and as such would originally have had no constructor's numbers, in accordance with the normal Avro practice. (It has been conjectured that they may have accounted for five c/n's in the range 1133-1151, originally intended for Turkish Ansons.) They still had their RAF serial numbers, N4863 to N4867, applied on delivery, and these were retained for a short time after entering service, being abbreviated in pilot's log books to the last two digits. They were only replaced by the appropriate Air Corps serial numbers when the aircraft were withdrawn for inspection.

The remaining 7 machines were also diverted from an RAF order. They were finished in Air Corps markings and serial numbered 46 to 52 (formerly N5290, N5300, N5320, N5340, N5365, N5380 and N9540 respectively), and most had arrived at Speke on their delivery flight when war broke out. They progressed no further, however, the delivery being embargoed and the aircraft instead sent to No.36 MU at Sealand to be repainted for RAF use, the original RAF serial numbers replacing those of the Irish Air Corps. An Anson of the Irish Air Corps became on 18 May 1939 the first aircraft to land at the recently completed aerodrome at Rineanna (now Shannon International Airport), having the inscription "Join the Volunteers" painted across the undersides of the wings, and the word "Volunteers" painted down the underside of the fuselage, both in capitals (the Volunteers were a military reserve force formed in 1938). On 30 August 1939, four Ansons of the No.1 R & MB Squadron and two Vickers-Supermarine Walrus amphibians of the First Coastal Patrol Squadron were transferred from Baldonnel aerodrome to Rineanna. This detachment undertook daily coastal patrols from Wexford Harbour, on the southeast coast, to Lough Swilly on the north-west coast. The first patrol was made by an Anson on 31 August, and in the following six months daily patrols were carried out, usually in very bad weather, which caused heavy attrition. On 8 September, No.45 crashed in Co.Kerry and was too badly damaged to be repaired. A month later, on 10 October, No.44 force-landed in Co. Tipperary, but this was repairable, though it did not fly again until 1945. On 19 December 1939 a third Anson (No.43) crashed into the sea off Co.Galway, and was too badly damaged to be repaired. Following these losses it was decided that the coastal patrols would only be flown at the request of the Irish Army. On 28 September 1941 another Anson (No.22) crashed in Co.Limerick and was damaged beyond repair. No.42 forced landed in Co.Cork on 31 August 1942, but this was eventually repaired. Ansons Nos.20 and 41 were withdrawn from service in November 1943 and January 1944 respectively, and scrapped. The R & MB Sqdn and the CP Sqdn were replaced at Rineanna in 1943 by the recently arrived No.1 Fighter Squadron, equipped with Hawker Hurricanes, both being withdrawn to Baldonnel, where they were disbanded the following year. The Ansons and other aircraft which equipped these squadrons were then transferred to the newly-formed General Purpose Flight, which was part of Air Corps School. On I June 1945 Anson A21 crashed on take-off from Rineanna and was destroyed. Two of the surviving Ansons (A19 and No.44) were withdrawn from service and scrapped in 1946, the last remaining machine (No.42) being eventually withdrawn in March 1948 and also scrapped. In the meantime, the first new aircraft to enter service with the Air Corps after the war ended were three Avro XIX Srs.Is, numbered 141 to 143 (c/n's 1313 to 1315), these being ordered in January 1946 and delivered to Baldonnel on 4 April 1946. They equipped the General Purpose Flight and were used to train pilots, navigators and radio operators, as well as for communications, freight carrying and reconnaissance duties. They are also believed to have been used by the Ordnance Survey Department, being equipped for air-to-ground photography. Their colour scheme was silver overall, the nationality markings including a new three-coloured fin flash. On 8 May 1953, No.143 crashed and was damaged beyond repair. A second machine (No.142) was damaged in a landing accident, being then withdrawn from flying to be used as a ground instructional airframe. Meanwhile three De Havilland D.H.I04 Doves had been delivered to the Air Corps as replacements, and the last surviving Anson (No.141) was grounded to become an instructional airframe, replacing No.142 which was then scrapped. In the early seventies this machine was withdrawn from use as an instructional airframe, and is now preserved for eventual display in the Irish Aviation Museum.

ISRAEL The Israel Defence Force/Air Force (IDFAF), which was Chel Ha'avir until 1951, aquired nine ex-British civil registered Anson Mk.Is between 1949 and 1953. Details of their service careers are sparse, but they are known to have been used by No.114 Squadron within the Central Flying School as multi-engine/navigational trainers painted all-silver or all-white with a broad yellow band aft of the fuselage serial number. They had an excellent safety record, none being lost in accidents over the seven years of operations. All were retired by early 1956, mostly to be broken up or burnt in fire exercises. The IDFAF Ansons were given both serial numbers and call signs, in sequence: 0l/4X-FHL Deld 14.3.49 ex G-AIFB, ex EG593 (f/n RY/LW/8315).

25 ex-RAF Anson Mk.ls were provided post-war to the Army Air Corps, which on 27 March 1953 became the Koninklijke Luchmacht (Royal [etherlands Air Force). They were initially delivered to RAF Pershore, and from there flown to Twenthe, near Enschede, this being previously used as an RAF aerodrome (B.106), and taken over in late 1946 for advanced and operational training. The following units were involved: No.1 Ferry Unit, Pershore. Depot Vliegtuigen (Aircraft Depot), initially at RAF Langham, later moving to Soesterberg. Technical Training Unit, initially at Langham from 6.46, until moving 9.47 to Deelan. Twin-engine training unit at Gilze-Rijen, its main base being at Twenthe (pilots were initially sent to the UK for flying training until this unit was organised) No.334 Squadron, otherwise Transport Vlieg Afdeling (TransVa), or Air Transport Service, at Valkenberg.

On 7 May 1945, No.88 Group, RAF formed at Kinelland House, Edinburgh for operations in Norway under the code name "Operation Apostle". Three days later its Communication Squadron formed at Turnhouse from a detachment of N~116 Squadron, with 12 Anson Xlls bearing the unit code '2Q'. This moved to Oslo-Fornebu between 5 and 9 June, and undertook military transport flights to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Kristiansand and Stavanger. 88 GCS moved on 8 July to Oslo-Gardermoen, remaining until the RAF withdrew on 21 November. It officially disbanded on 31 December 1945. Aircraft were: PH545, PH625, PH626, PH638, PH639, PH642, PH643, PH644, PH645 (2Q-J), PH646, PH647 (2Q-N), PH648 (2Q-0), PH649 (2Q-P) and PH812. I t seems likely that individual letters were allocated in serial number sequence. One unit in No.88 Group was No.276 (ASR) Squadron, based at Andrews Field. Divided into A, Band C Flights, it was equipped with 9 Walrus Is, a flight of Spitfires and two Ansons (NK325 and NK421). The Spitfire flight flew to Kristiansand on 22 August 1945, followed there two days later by the Ansons of 'C' Flight. The squadron gathered at Oslo-Gardermoen on 24 September, and left for Dunsfold on 5 November, disbanding there on 14 November 1945.
During 1946-1947, 11 Anson Mk.ls were reconditioned by Avros at Langar, and delivered to the Arma da Aeronautica in June and July 1947, one with Class B registration K-ll when seen in 9.46. Originally numbered 212 to 222, they were reserialled 2201 to 2211 in 1952. Initially deli~ered to Esquadrilha de Ligacao e Transporte (Liaison and Transport Squadron) at Portela, in 1953 this unit became Esquadra 82. Some still used as transports in 1957: 212 (ex NK437).

Between 12.46 and 8.47, ten Anson Is were provided to Det Kongelige Norske Flyvapen (Royal Norwegian Air Force or RNoAF) , one being lost on delivery. Nicknamed "Trofaste Annie", this was a direct translation of its RAF nickname. The aircraft were in poor condition on delivery, but were overhauled at Kjeller and supplied to Flyskolen for radio and navigation training. DJ513 was modified for SAR operation during the spring of 1948, but without success.
213 (NKI82), 214 (NK437), 215 (NK444), 216 (NK476), 217 (NK483), 218 (NK484), 219 (MG690), 220 (MG692), 221 (MG696), 222 (MG221). Unconfirmed reports suggest that 4 more were later supplied as 2212 to 2215. If correct, these might possibly account for Avro c/n's 1378 to 1381, which were supposedly unallocated around May 1947.

The final entry on the record card for Anson Mk.I EG616, reads "To Polish A/F 29.6.44". This is curious as that aircraft served with the RAF in Aden. One can only conjecture that perhaps it was allocated for postwar use in returning home Free Polish Air Force crews to serve in the Polish Air Force (polski Wojska Litnicze).
One Mk.I, ex G-AIXY (ex MG966), was operated at Taif from before August 1948 by Airwork for the British Training Mission, with 4 Tiger Moths. Scrapped by 13.12.49. SYRIA Six Ansons of unknown origin were operated by the Syrian Air Force around 1948-1949. At least two were fully serviceable and very actively engaged in bombing raids on northern Israel during the War of Independence (May-June 1948). They were armed wi th two .303 inch guns mounted in an upper turret, in addition to a bomb load of up to 500 lbs.

TURKEY In 1938, Britain and France promised defence aid to Turkey. 25 Anson Mk.ls were ordered in 1939, and constructors numbers 1127 to 1151 were allocated. The first six (c/n's 1127 to 1132) arrived by ship in May 1940, being diverted from an RAF order and originally intended as N9947 to N9952. They were serialled 3201 to 3206 by the Turkish Air Force. The remainder of the order was never delivered, and it is possible that their c/n's were reallocated to New Zealand and Irish machines. The six machines were allocated to the Hava Okulu (Air School) at Eskisehir to replace three D.H.84 Dragons as observer trainers. One each was later used during 19401941 by Inci Alayi and 3ncu Alaya (regiments) as bombardier trainers and light transports. Photographs show the cabin entrance door as being on the starboard side of the fuselage. The Ansons were largely replaced by Oxfords in late 1943, and were then reassigned for use by Hava Okulu, and by III Talim Taburu/2nci BolUgu (Flying School, III Training Battalion/2nd Company), the latter being an operational training unit. It was not until October 1946 that the last two (3204 and 3205) were officially struck off the inventory listL For the record, the Turkish training school organisation comprised: I Talim Taburu (primary/basic flying school), comprising Inci and 2nci BologU, both with Go145, replaced in 1943 by Magisters. II Talim Taburu (Advanced/observer flying school, comprising 3ncii Bologu with CW.22R/B, and 4ncu Bologli with Ansons, replaced by Oxfords in 1943

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In 1943, 50 RCAF Anson Mk.lls were supplied to the United States Army Air Force for use in training bombardiers and navigators. Redesignated as AT-20 (Advanced Trainer Type 20), these bore USAAF serials 43-8181 to 43-8230. Previous identities (not in sequence) were: 7074,7114-7117,7119-7123,7126,7128-7130,7170,7172, 7248, 7381, 7382, 7461-7463, 7569, 7585, 7590, 7593, 8204, 8245, 8333, 8340, 8341 (became 43-8320), 8343, 8345, 8348, 8350, 8351, 8357, 8378, 8387, 8398, FP710, JS148-150, JS158-161, JS163, JS164. 43-8223 was coded R422. 43-8203 and 43-8230 became XA-FOI and XA-FOJ respectively. Anson MLIV 10257 (originally R9816) was loaned by the RCAF to the US Air Services, Dayton, Ohio on 21.7.42, being returned to RCAF charge 16.11.42. When the US 8th Air Force arrived in the UK it found itself short of communications aircraft. The RAF therefore supplied against requisition a number of Anson Is, Dominies and Oxfords between February 1943 and July 1944. There is no full history of such aircraft in British or American records. Photographs of other RAF aircraft used by the USAAF (Defiant, Dominie, Harvard, Horsa, Hudson, Hurricane, Lysander, Master, Mosquito, Oxford, Proctor, Spitfire and Tiger Moth) show that, although American national markings were normally used, RAF serials were retained. However, a photograph taken at Warton in October 1943, depicts an Anson, a Tiger Moth, a Hurricane and a
Beaufighter, all in RAF markings. The surviving communications aircraft were returned to the RAF by the end of 1944, as the USAAF had its own aircraft by then. Aircraft shown in British records as being used by the 8th Air Force were: L7909 To USAAF 7.6.43. ROS 19.7.43. USAAF 26.7.43.' ROS 14.9.43. Recat B(MR) 11.12.43.

DG763 To USAAF 26.1.43 and used by 87th Air Transport Squadron, Warton, Lancs, with satellites at Burtonwood, Lancs (Station 0.590) and Langford Lodge, Co.Antrim (Station No.597). Cat B 21.4.44 and returned RAF. DJ577 To USAAF' 1.2.43 and used by 3rd Strategic Air Depot, Watton. Returned RAF 21.4.44. NK654 Direct from Avro, Yeadon to USAAF 2.5.44 and used by 1st Combat Crew Replacement Centre, Bovingdon, Herts as replacement for AW911. Returned RAF. Two other Mk.ls have been reported as used by the USAAF, though this cannot be reconciled with British records, nor alternative identities suggested: AX623 reported as with USAAF Steeple Morden, Cambs (Station NO.122), but according to British records it served only with No.280 Sqdn, RAF on air-sea rescue duties from Detling and Langham, being written off 22.8.42 DJ188 reported with 447th Bombardment Group, Rattlesden, Suffolk (Station No.126), but this aircraft was shipped to Aus t ralia 18.3.42 I n addition, Anson Mk.XI NLl37 was delivered from 23 MU, Aldergrove to Station Flight Northolt on 2.1.45, and later transferred to the Headquarters Flight, 8th Air Force, Bovingdon, Herts. It returned to RAF charge, and was used by No.1 Ferry Unit at Pershore, Worcs. This is curious, as the USAAF had its own communications aircraft by 1945.

Note The above twelve Greek Ansons were diverted from an RAF order and were previously allocated 5150, 5155, 5160, 5165, 5170, 5175, 5185, 5190, 5200, 5205, 5210 & 5215. The correct form of serial of the Greek Ansons is not clear. One source quotes TT and another interprets this as the Greek "pi". The latter is probably correct. Five Anson I's of the Greek Navy escaped the German invasion in April 1941 and were impressed in the Hiddle East. They quoted the serials 51, N52, N55, N56 and 61 and became AX748-752 respectively. They are probably five of the twelve referred to above. G-AGGJ/G-AGHD These regns were all issued to BOAC 17.5.43 for a batch of 20 Anson Is for ferrying to the RAF, from Bristol and Portreath via Lisbon and Takoradi to Aboukir in the Hiddle East.

All were issued with standard one year C of As (NOS 6980/6999) on 3.6.43, and the regns were cancelled 10.6.44 as "Written off - vested in RAF".

AIR-BRITAIN - THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AVIATION HISTORIANS - FOUNDED 1948
For thirty-nine years, Air-Britain has recorded aviation events as they have happened, because today's events are tomorrow's history. In addition, considerable research into the past has been undertaken to provide historians with the background to aviation history. Over 14,000 members have contributed to our aims and efforts in that time and many have become accepted authorities in their own fields. Every month, AIR-BRITAIN NEWS covers the current civil and military scene. In alternate months, each member receives AIR-BRITAIN DIGEST on aviation subjects, both past and present.
which is a fully-illustrated journal containing
articles
For those interested in military aviation history, there is the quarterly AERONILITARIA which is designed to delve more deeply into the background of, mainly, British and Commonwealth military aviation than is possible in commercial publications and whose format permits it to be used as components of a filing system which suits the readers' requirements. This publication is responsible for the production of this volume and other monographs on military subjects. Also published quarterly is ARCHIVE, produced in a similar format to AERONILITARIA but covering civil aviation history in depth on a world-wide basis. Both magazines are well-illustrated by photographs and drawings. Tn addition to these regular publications, there are monographs covering type histories, both military and civil, airline fleets, Royal Air Force registers, squadron histories and the civil registers of a large number of countries. Although our publications are available to non-members, prices are considerably lower to members who have priority over non-members when availablity is limited. Nowadays, the accumulated price discounts for which members qualify when buying monographs far exceed the annual subscription rates. A large team of aviation experts is available to answer members' queries on most aspects of aviation. If you have made a study of any particular subject, you may be able to expand your knowledge by joining those with similar interests. Also available to members are libraries of colour slides and photographs which supply slides and prints at siderably lower than those charged by commercial firms.
