Hello,
I am currently researching G-AGVY which crashed in Lebanon In Feb 1949,
It was owned by Air Enterprises Ltd and was leased to the United Nations.
I would be interested if anybody has any further unformation about this aircraft or the company who owned it,thanks very much.
Montague.

It started life as Oxford V3679 in 1941 and after fours years service was the first converted by Airspeed as a Consul. Initially operated by / for the Bata Shoe company it then in 1948 went to Air Enterprises at Gatwick. Full details can be found if you purchase a copy of the excellent Air Britian “The Oxford, Consul and Envoy File” by John Hamlin.
I must express a fondness for the Consul as I flew in the last survivor of the type (hence my Avatar).:)
