This former A&AEE Anson had been acquired by the Shuttleworth Collection in 1968 but, after a number of years, moved to Duxford. As can be seen here, it was the subject of a long-term restoration effort, apparently with a view to putting it back in the air. In the event, it later became an exhibit at the Al Mahatta Aviation Museum, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, wearing Gulf Aviation colours to represent G-AKVW, which was actually an Anson 1.
