Ex VL348. Registered to T.A.T. Limited (Tippers Air Transport) on 6 October 1967. Sold to the British Historic Aircraft Museum at Southend, Essex G-AVVO moved there in September 1968. The venture did not work as anticipated and her condition deteriorated to the extent that in 1971 she was being used as spares for the Historic Aircraft Museum's other Anson. During 1970/71 the Newark Air Museum 's Anson, G-ALIH, was being restored but was partly destroyed by fire in May '71. G-AVVO was acquired to replace it by utilising G-ALIH's wings and 'VO's fuselage.

Acquired by Tippers Air Transport at Halfpenny Green from the RAF in October 1967 along with several others of the type. To the nascent British Historic Aircraft Museum at Southend in September 1968. The museum did not proceed and the aircraft languished at Southend, here seen without engines of outer wings. When the BHAM was resurrected as the Historic Aircraft Museum (Southend) G-AVVO was surplus to requirements and the fuselage was obtained by the Newark Air Museum as a replacement for that of G-ALIH which had been destroyed by fire in May 1971. On display at Newark as VL348 in 2021.

The great Newark Air Museum hosts some nice exhibits, but it is quite cramped. So getting pictures inside is quite challenging.
