Presently displayed at Tamworth Airport, the home base for the former East-West Airlines. The RAF Museum thinks it has this aircraft but has VH-AZU ex LT773. The two aircraft were stored at Sid Marshall's yard next to Bankstown airport. East West Airlines acquired ASM, which was its first aircraft, from Marshall in 1972. AZU remained in the yard until after Marshall's death in 1975. The RAF Museum's confusion is a mystery as ASM was complete and on display when it bought its wingless Anson in Australia.

The Merlin-powered prototype Avro Athena advanced trainer at its Woodford birthplace during initial trials. Small numbers of the type were delivered to the RAF but did not remain in service for an extended period. As with other types, Avro did not allocate c/ns to their military aircraft production - they viewed the RAF serial as sufficient identification.

Fairey Aviations hangar complex in the NW corner of Ringway with its namesake small village at mid left. From the original 1937 hangar at upper right it grew to six large hangars where 4100 aircraft were assembled during WW2 including Battles, Fulmars, Barracudas, Beaufighters and Halifaxes. Another 300 aircraft were completed postwar.
