Still in use at Bovingdon and Andover until about '67. Seen in the film 'Mosquito Squadron' filmed partly at Bovingdon in about '67; replaced by (of all things) Bassets!
If I ever find my 3822, it will show two flights from Bovingdon in Ansons, one being PH859 in about '65. Pilot's name was Colbourne; he had scarring on his face possibly due to a fire; his takeoff technique was 'must be going fast enough to fly now, gear up!'
