Avro Anson Delivery to 311 (Czech) Squadron

Hi,

Trying to identify the Avro Anson aircraft used by No.311 (Czech) Squadron for training purposes in 1940/41. I don't have a copy of the excellent Anson file and I only have the Form78 K471-N9613 serial range. I believe, the Anson used were in the R series.

Any help appreciated.

Steve

Re: Avro Anson Delivery to 311 (Czech) Squadron

Hello,

No 311 Squadron used Wellingtons coded KX since VII.1940 at Honington 29.07.40-16.09.40 and East Wretham 16.09.40.-28.04.42. Transferred to Coastal Command and sqn codes were soon dropped.
Known Anson Is used by 311 Sqn:
K6296 Crashed, Honington, 1.4.41.
R9600 To SAAF 10.8.41.
R9648 To 27 OTU.
R9649 Crashed Warmington, Northants 1.10.40.
Later 311 Sqn's aircraft (Liberator V/VI/VIII) were coded PP.
Some Ansons were coded PP, but were flown by 71 Sqn RAAF in Australia.

Zoran
