On 16th July 1942 this aircraft was stationary at Linton on Ouse airfield as part of the pilot's ATA ferry work when, at 16.15hrs, an RAF Anson collided with the Argus and slightly damaged both aircraft.
Pilot - T/O Roy Edward Coleman ATA (M.725).
Anson HM184 was purchased without contract by the B.P.C. from the Fairchild Aviation Corporation, at Farmingdale, New York, USA and was crated and shipped to the UK arriving in January 1942. On arrival in the UK it was transported to the Heston Aircraft Co. Ltd. at Heston Airfield for assembly. The date it was taken on charge by the ATA is not known. As a result of the mishap on 16th July 1942 minor Cat.A/FA damage is listed in the records of the aircraft's service history as being the damage assessment but nothing more of the aircraft is known after this incident so it may not have been repaired. It was being flown by a (Training) Ferry Pool pilot at the time of the mishap on 16th July 1942.
