Ex W1731. Originally built as an Anson XI. Registered G-ALXH 16 January 1950. Rebuilt in 1955 to Anson 19/2 standard, being re-engined and using the fuselage of PH808. Shortly after taking off from Leeds-Bradford en route to Belfast on 9 April 1963, smoke filled the cockpit and it was thought the starboard engine had failed, whereupon that engine was shut down and a forced landing attempted in a field near Guiseley, Yorkshire, in which substantial damage was incurred. The three occupants were uninjured. Cancelled 14 May 1963 as destroyed.

Prototype of the Accountant airliner, an ambitious Dakota-replacement project by Southend-based Aviation Traders (Engineering). A note on this photograph states 'Under final stages of construction', which places it on an unknown date in 1957, given that it made its first flight on 9th July 1957, as G-41-1. Registered as G-ATEL 30th August 1957 and displayed at the Farnborough Air Show the following month. Sadly it attracted little interest and the project was abandoned, the aircraft making its last flight on 10th January 1958. Cancelled 8th Oct.1959 as PWFU and broken up at Southend Feb.1960.
