The first Anson T21 built was finished in 1947, and first flew in February 1948. It served until 1968, then kept at Llanbedr in Wales. From Llanbedr it went to Crowland, and on to Hinstock, before it was sold to the interesting Shannon Aviation Museum. The museum depicts the importance of Shannon airfield, one of Europe's most Western airports, the starting point for many transatlantic flights.
