Faithful Annie - the Avro Anson
the formation consisted of 5 C.19s and a single T.21, but I'm blowed if I can discern which one was the latter.
And Bovingdon closed a few months later.
It was my 'local' airfield where us ATC cadets would scrounge flights during summer hols; I flew in VL337 and PH859, though whether they're in that formation I don't know.
One of the Bovingdon Annies was temporarily painted camouflage and was seen in the closing stages of the film 'Mosquito Squadron' which was made at Bovingdon.
As for the difference between a C19 and a T21; not a lot, both types having 2 seats at the front facing forwards and 6 at the back facing backwards and both smelt the same.
