Avro 652 Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA

Avro 652 Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA of the Skyfame museum at Staverton Airport N4877 was built at the Avro factory at Newton Heath, Manchester and was taken on charge by the Royal Air Force on Nov 17, 1938. It was delivered to 26 M.U. Lowley on December 2nd for ferry work, and transferred to No. 2 Ferry Pilots Pool at Filton on February 4, 1939. With the formation of the Air Transport Auxiliary, it was transferred to their No.3 F.P.P. at White Waltham on May 2, 1940 and remained there when the unit was renumbered as No. 1 F.P.P. in November. A flying accident on March 19, 1941 necessitated repairs by Marshalls Flying School, Cambridge, and the Anson returned to White Waltham on Jan 4, 1942, where it remained for the rest of the war with the A.T.A. In Sept 1945 it was given a major inspection by Western Airways at Weston, and then delivered to the Station Flight at Watchfield on April 5, 1946
