Narrative:
Avro Anson VS567, 17 RFS (Reserve Flying School), RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) September 2 1949 when crashed at RAF Andover, Hampshire

The civilian instructor pilot was making a low-level approach to RAF Andover on a hot day. During the approach, the aircraft sank towards the ground, and continued to do so, despite the application of increased engine power. The aircraft struck the boundary fence, stalled in a flat attitude, and swung through 180 degrees, before coming to a halt.

17 RFS (Reserve Flying School), the operator of Anson VS567 was formed at RAF Hornchurch, Essex on 1-7-48. It disbanded at Hornchurch on 31-7-53
