Notes
  1. Of the 161 aircraft against TX and VL serials, 138 were for the RAF against Avro Work Order 9169. Of these, 92 were built at Yeadon (79 Series 1 and 13 Series 2) and 46 at Chadderton, all Series 2 [15]. It may be reasonably assumed, therefore, that TX154 through TX257 were all built at Yeadon, along with a further 8 from the VL serial range. Note that Sturtivant [1] gives only VL350, VL351 and VL353 - VL363 built at Chadderton. Note also that VL358 - VL363, although being last in the serial range of this contract, were in fact taken off contract and diverted to civil very early on, receiving their C of A between November 1945 and January 1946. The first aircraft of this contract for the RAF was not delivered until March 1946.
     
  2. The exact relationship between Portuguese 3-digit serials and the original RAF serial is most likely, and taken from Cardoso [20]. Air Britain RAF Aircraft Register [4] gives a different relationship. Similarly, the relationship between the Portuguese 3-digit and 4-digit serial, again from Cardoso [20], while reasonable, is unconfirmed. The second contract for reconditioned Ansons to Portugal is unconfirmed. The c/ns are speculative but fit with an unallocated block in the appropriate time period. However, there appears to be no corresponding Avro Works Order.
     
  3. The first letter of the Greek serial has been usually recorded as T T, but is presumably the Greek letter π (pi).
     
  4. Five of the Greek Ansons escaped to Egypt and were later impressed into the RAF. They carried both their RAF and Greek serials, with the π changed to N [1].
     
  5. The VP serial range covers 30 Ansons originally ordered by Iraq, but cancelled and taken over by the RAF. Documents in AVIA 49/229 show that three aircraft had already been built, two civil and one military, all at Yeadon. The contract delivery record [11] indicates that VP509 was delivered in May 1946, making it the second Series 2 delivered to the RAF. The next delivery, VP510, did not occur until June 1947; VP511 is indicated as diverted from RAF contract and became the prototype Mk.18. It would seem most likely that the three aircraft built at Yeadon were VP509 - VP511, VP510 and VP511 being the the two originally built in civilian configuration.
    In September 1945 the Afghan Government had shown some interest in acquiring a transport aircraft and the Air Ministry Anson Mk 18. One example, presumably VP511, was sent to Kabul for a demonstration in February 1947. VP511 was retained by Avro but eventually delivered to Afghanistan to replace the crashed c/n 1465.
     
  6. Avro c/ns 1127 - 1151 were allocated for aircraft diverted to Turkey, but only 6 were delivered.
     
  7. With deliveries under way to Canada for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (see note 9) and anticipating a lack of available Cheetah powerplants, MAP contracted with Avro to deliver 223 aircraft in the Awxxx and DGxxx serial ranges to be delivered as engineless airframes and fitted on arrival with Wright Whirlwind R-760-E1 powerplants as Mk.IVs. In the end, there was no scarcity and all the airframes were fitted with Cheetahs and recorded in Canada as Mk.Is.
     
  8. References [1] and [4] both give PH846 and PH866 as becoming G-AGUH and 'UI respectively, but these are also recorded as ex VL358 and VL359 by the same sources.
     
  9. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), known in some countries as the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS), was a massive, joint military aircrew training program created by the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, during the Second World War. The BCATP agreement between the U.K. and Canada being signed on 17th December 1939 and the same day Australia signed two agreements, one with the UK regarding carrying out training in Australia and the second was between, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK regarding training in Canada. Under a parallel agreement, the Joint Air Training Scheme, South Africa trained aircrew for the South African Air Force and other Allied air forces. Southern Rhodesia, as a British Crown Colony, was not a signatory of the BCATP; the Rhodesian Air Traning Group (RATG) was created in January 1940 to provide the same function, being subsumed by the RAF later in the same year.
     
  10. On 13 July 1940 the Canadian Government received a request from the RAF that they wished to transfer four service flying training schools to Canada. The RAF soon revised its request to include eight service flying training schools, two air observer schools, one bombing and gunnery school, one air navigation school, one general reconnaissance school and one torpedo bombing school. On 29 August 1940, the complete staff and equipment for No. 7 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) from Peterborough, England, set sail for Canada. An airfield at Collins Bay, Ontario, was already being built for them and, to avoid confusion with other BCATP schools, they became No. 31 SFTS. (From this point on, all numbers 31 and above were reserved for RAF schools transferred or formed in Canada during the war.) In the long run, between 9 September 1940 and 3 November 1944, the RAF operated 26 aircrew training schools in Canada. All aircraft at these schools retained their RAF serial.
     
  11. The usually accepted figure for aircraft delivered to Canada is 1528. The two sources giving the most detailed listing of Ansons supplied to Canada, Sturtivant [1] and Griffin [12], neither agree with that figure in their listings, nor with each other! The Canadian serialed examples are straightforward, but for those retaining their RAF serials, Sturtivant lists 449 (including instructional airframes), for a grand total of 1521, while Griffin only has 442. By careful comparison between these and the RAF Delivery Records for the Anson [11], this author finds agreement with Sturtivant, plus one more airframe, N9883, which he lists as going to the RAAF, but the Ledger gives Canada. As Australian records do not have this listed, I must find the Ledger correct, for a grand total of 1522.
     
  12. Several Mk.XIX Srs.1 aircraft were converted to Srs.2 Known conversions to Mk.XIX Srs 2 include PH845, PH858, TX157, TX166, TX176, TX182, TX211, TX213, TX227 converted either during their military career or during civilian conversion. Seven Anson T.20's and two T.21's became Avro 19 Series 2 when converted to civilian use, while a further four Avro 19 Series 1 and were converted to Series 2 later in their careers (See Table 'Civil Registered Anson Mk.XI, Mk.XII and Avro 19 Built New or Converted From Military').
     
  13. VM305 and VM306 were transferred to Contract 6/Acft/923, Avro Works Order Sales 5001, and retained by A.V.Roe & Co Ltd. VM305 served as the prototype T.20 (to meet Specification T.24/6) and first flew as such 5 August 1947; VM306 was built as the prototype T.22 (to meet Specification T.26/46) and first flew as such on 21 June 1948.
     
  14. Anson T.21's VS565, VS566, VS568, VS570, VS571, VS572, VS574, VS575, VS578, VS584, VS586, VS588, VS591, VV888, VV891, VV919, VV953, VV955, VV958, VV963, VV964, VV967, VV968, VV970, VV981, VV994,WB459, were converted later to C.21.
