Avro 652 Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA: A Historical Journey This photograph showcases Avro 652 Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA, currently on display at the Skyfame museum located at Staverton Airport. The Anson, a versatile British aircraft manufactured by Avro at their factory in Newton Heath, Manchester, was first taken on charge by the Royal Air Force (RAF) on November 17, 1938. Following its delivery to 26 M.U. Lowley for ferry work, the Anson was transferred to the No. 2 Ferry Pilots Pool at Filton on February 4, 1939. With the formation of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in May 1940, N4877 was transferred to their No.3 F.P.P. at White Waltham, where it remained until undergoing repairs at Marshalls Flying School, Cambridge, following a flying accident on March 19, 1941. The Anson returned to White Waltham on January 4, 1942, and remained in service with the ATA for the duration of the war. In September 1945, N4877 received a major inspection by Western Airways at Weston, after which it was delivered to the Station Flight at Watchfield on April 5, 1946. The Anson's history took an unexpected turn in 1947 when it was transferred to 48 Squadron at Hawarden for repair. After undergoing repairs, it was flown to Aldergrove in October 1949 and then to Kemble in April 1950. In July 1950, N4877 was bought and registered as G-AMDA by The Peter Butt Aviation Collection. The Anson continued to fly under the ownership of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection until its eventual disposal. This photograph captures a piece of aviation history, showcasing the enduring legacy of the Avro Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA.
