Burnt out frame of VH-BLF still visible in the fir practice area mid-.69. Note: A letter from Alan Thomas of the Camden Museum of Aviation dated 10 April 2005 quoted on the Adastra Aerial Surveys Website states: "Originally Moorabbin Air Museum were going to acquire an Anson from Adastra but when they acquired VH-FIA down in Melbourne they had no further interest in an Adastra Anson. This left the way open for Father (Harold Thomas - founder of the museum) and I to acquire VH-AGA. At the same time VH-BLF was at Mascot with no future owner so we were allowed to remove any parts we thought useful. We removed one Cheetah, the main instrument panel, throttle box, undercarriage fairings and many small items. Before we took control of AGA a strong wind went through Mascot and AGA and BLF actually hit each other on the aileron and trailing edge of opposite wings. So we removed the undamaged trailing edge and aileron from BLF and fitted it to AGA. So some pieces of BLF still exist today with the engine, panel and throttle box on display in the Museum. We gave the other airframe pieces to Colin Wear, now deceased, who was going to build a flying Anson, but the project literally never got off the ground and he eventually sold the BLF parts to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook."

Approved to convert to components 20.6.43. ‘Ansons L9162 and N4876 of 2 SFTS collided when N4876 came down on top of L9162 in the air near Brocklesby, NSW, on 29 September 1940. The aircraft remained stuck together. The crew of the lower aircraft (Leading Aircraftsman [LAC] Jack Hewson and LAC Hugh Fraser) and the observer from the upper aircraft (LAC Ian Sinclair) baled out. The pilot of N4876 (LAC Leonard Fuller) managed to fly the two aircraft and belly land them, still joined, safely, in a paddock belonging to Mr T. Murphy approximately 7 miles south west of Brocklesby . L9162 was written off but N4876 was repaired and continued to fly until the end of the war. LAC Fuller went on to fly with the RAAF in Europe and won the DFM. Unfortunately he was killed at East Sale in 1944 when he was hit by a bus while he was riding a bicycle.
