Yes, they were.

Annies did et everywhere. They seem to have been pretty tame too, unless one flew them into the terrain. They were also used as an air-taxi fir ferry pilots, both service and ATA, they they kept turning-up all over. I think the ATA ran them right down as far as Egypt before they were shut down.

A pal of mine flew most of the RAF’s multies. He flew the Oxbox on some of the early Beam-Approach training in the blackout. He said that it wasn’t really suitable for this and was downright nasty to land it blind – with the set-up they then had. Rather him than me, is all that I can say…!:p
