Thank you SIr. Glad to hear a rational explanation.

Does anyone have any idea of the operational history of the naval N9718 ? Or alternatively apart from a trip to either Kew or Yeovil – where I can get it from ?

N9718 as applied to a Blackburn Dart was part of the Naval series of serials, used between 1916 and 1925, see here: http://ukserials.com/serials-older-00naval.htm

N9718 as applied to an Anson I was part of the ‘regular’ series of serials: http://ukserials.com/serials-older-0n.htm

Ok sorry. It’s just that number is in The Anson File and also in Avro Aircraft since 1908 as one of the 6th RAF production batch, N9713 to N9752.

I didn’t realise they duplicated serial numbers.

Hi FarlamAirframes,

N9718 is an Anson Mk.1 according to one of my books.
