1.3VStall

Ah!......the Station Flight Anson. Thanks for reminding us 1.3VStall. Just about every major UK station had an Anson with the station name proudly emblazoned along the fuselage. 'Owned' by OC Ops, it could sometimes be made available for junkets and other 'helpfull' tasks.

Got a posting to Kinloss or St Mawgan and want some kit shifted? Well, the Anson should be free on Sunday and there was a bunch of volunteer pilots from the squadrons who were checked out. One of them would probably turn out.

Anyone know when the Ansons were withdrawn and why?
