ANEC III rebuilt as 11-seater (two pilots plus nine passengers) with a lengthened fuselage
and a more powerful 485 h.p. Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar powerplant.
The history of the first
and third ANEC I's appears to have become confused. References differ as to which was G-AUEQ and 'ET, with some references
also refering to G-AUEQ as an ANEC II. It has also been proposed that G-AUEQ was built in Australia by George Beohm [3][4].
The details here are according to Sanger [3].
G-AUEQ was acquired by Clarrie Fitzgerald of Goomalling,
WA., who planned to fit it with floats and use it as a hydroplane on a nearby lake. Just how far he got with that project
is not recorded.
