Avro Anson C.Mk.19 VM408: Delivered August 1947 as the penultimate Anson C.19 of this production batch (VM409 was the last - from VM410-VM418 all Ansons were built and delivered as T.Mk.20s; VM419-VM458 were cancelled). RAF Service was with the RCCF (Reserve Command Communications Flight) coded "RCA-Z", and 25 Group Communications Flight, RAF Strubby, Lincolnshire

Written off (damaged beyond repair) 10/12/47: While landing at RAF Strubby, Lincolnshire in adverse weather conditions and poor visibility, the aircraft overshot, ran off the runway and collided with a parked vehicle.
