on a data plate which was found affixed to the fuselage of VH-BIF
at the time of its recovery from Charleville. Anson W2472 is
understood to have a fuselage number in the range R3/LW/88521
(W2434) to R3/LW/88569 (W2486). Anson W2472 has since been
located at Miles, Qld. As these numbers were not allocated in
strict sequence, it is not possible to extrapolate corresponding
military serial numbers or vice versa. The weight of evidence
now suggests that VH-BIF is ex AX305." Now known that AX305 became VH-BIF although this aircraft was officially ex W2472. As VH-BIF its subsequent history is: CoR No 2124 issued 15.7.55 to R.G. Carswell, Moorooka, Qld - change of address to c/- Carsair, Port Moresby, NG, .56. Engine faltered on take-off and acft swung, damaging undercarriage, Taipini, NG, 4.56. Transferred to Carsair Air Service, Port Moresby 5.12.57. Ferried from Archerfield, Qld, to ‘Dundee Station, near Charleville, Qld, 20.1.59. Cancelled 19.2.59. Donated by Bell Bros, owners of Dundee Station to Queensland Air Museum and transferred by road to Brisbane 10.5.81. Stored in Hendra Woolsheds, dismantled with instrument panel displayed in the museum at Caloundra. Fuselage frame transferred to Queensland Air Museum, Caloundra, 4.90. Fuselage frame on display at Queensland Air Museum .91.

EF896? DJ896 |
NOT A VALID SERIAL - Log
book entry reported for GRS between 10.11.43 and 10.02.44 but
British records show that this serial fell in a ‘black-out’
block and was not issued for an Anson or any other aircraft.
Suggest misprint for DJ896 although this aircraft is not reported as having been allocated to GRS.

Burnt out frame of VH-BLF still visible in the fir practice area mid-.69. Note: A letter from Alan Thomas of the Camden Museum of Aviation dated 10 April 2005 quoted on the Adastra Aerial Surveys Website states: "Originally Moorabbin Air Museum were going to acquire an Anson from Adastra but when they acquired VH-FIA down in Melbourne they had no further interest in an Adastra Anson. This left the way open for Father (Harold Thomas - founder of the museum) and I to acquire VH-AGA. At the same time VH-BLF was at Mascot with no future owner so we were allowed to remove any parts we thought useful. We removed one Cheetah, the main instrument panel, throttle box, undercarriage fairings and many small items. Before we took control of AGA a strong wind went through Mascot and AGA and BLF actually hit each other on the aileron and trailing edge of opposite wings. So we removed the undamaged trailing edge and aileron from BLF and fitted it to AGA. So some pieces of BLF still exist today with the engine, panel and throttle box on display in the Museum. We gave the other airframe pieces to Colin Wear, now deceased, who was going to build a flying Anson, but the project literally never got off the ground and he eventually sold the BLF parts to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook." |

This was the believed
identity of the nose section of the Anson being restored by Alan
Penhall at Ballarat Airport in which 80% of the fuselage is from
LV284. However, RAF records indicate that LV298 did not leave
the United Kingdom and no card for this aircraft is held by RAAF
Records. As the nose section is believed to be from an aircraft
that served in Ballarat with 1 WAGS and was sold for scrap in
1946, further investigation is needed.
