Avro Anson Mk.I DJ209 75 OTU May '43
Dad's initial solo on type

No record of serial prefix in logbook as dad just records 209. Sturtivant's Anson File confirms DJ209 as the only candidate. Photos of similar serial numbers show the steep windscreen and bubble cowling. Another Anson from 75 OTU (EF888 A-135) clearly shows the extra vents in the roof indicating tropical kit fitment which will include Vokes filters, nose water tank, and other interior extras. The school code on the side likely is for A flight and a seemingly random number. I doubt that I'll ever find the correct one so will use A-182. Colours will be TLS Pattern A, DG/DE upper and Trainer Yellow under. School code is Sky and serials in Night. I'll use a lighter shade of DG/DE to allow a degree of sun fading.
