IWM Duxford

Ross and I had a superb day at the Imperial War Museum Duxford 20 odd years after our first visit. The sound of warbirds flying all day just added to the atmosphere. The vehicles in the Land Warfare building are in the Military Vehicles folder. 10/5/2022

    The Avro Anson was developed in the mid 1930's as a multi-role aircraft but later used as an aircrew trainer. This airframe was built at Newton Heath, Manchester in late 1938 and sent to the Ferry Pilots Pool. When the Air Transport Auxilary was established in February 1940 it was transferred to that and remained with them throughout the War. It was bought for civilian use in July 1950 until December 1962.
    V3388 is an Airspeed AS40 Oxford mkI built by AVRO in 1940. The design was developed in the mid 1930's as an advanced trainer. It is powered by a pair of Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah IX radial engines.
    V3388 was sold after the war to the Boulton Paul Aircraft Company for general communications flying until 1960.
