I’m trying to piece together the military career of Anson C.19 VM360 but unfortunately the aircraft movement card doesn’t give dates for its transfers to the various units. Does anyone have records for the following units which indicate or suggest the dates for when VM360 was with each unit? The aircraft served with the following units in this order, as I understand, and any dates anyone can help fill in would be greatly appreciated.
Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment
Telecommunications Flying Unit
Royal Aircraft Establishment
Aircraft & Instrument Experimental Unit
Royal Aircraft Establishment
Royal Aircraft Establishment Bedford
Bombing Trials Unit

Thanks for that MM, it’s a start at least.
Any other information would be helpful and I should mention that I’m particularly looking for the information in my original post rather than images of the aircraft, if it’s possible to return the thread to its original purpose.

Air Enthusiast April 1974 states that VM360 ” spent some time at RAE Farnborough in 1949 “
Bit vague I’m afraid.
Retired from military use 1957.

Perhaps people could also share any photos they have of VM360 G-APHV.
I presume you have seen David Ogilvies article http://www.iaopa.eu/mediaServlet/storage/gamag/oct06/Anson.pdf
