hi,
a Anson? wreck, could have been civil but put it on here as the airscouts had a Valetta and possibly a Anson as well...

G-AWSA is apparently ex RAF Anson C.19 VL349. However I logged VL349 coded "7Q-V" at Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation museum during 2007. It was there during 1989 being restored - so maybe not such a wreck in 1973!
