Notes
  1. 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].
     
  2. 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.
