These two Anson training aircraft from No. 2 Service Flying Training School RAAF, Wagga Wagga, NSW, collided in mid air on 29 September 1940. Leading Aircraftman Graham Fuller, the pilot of the upper Anson, whose engine had failed, found he could fly the joined aircraft with his flying controls and brought them down safely in a paddock at Brocklesby, NSW. Fuller went on to fly bombers in the Middle East and Europe but died as an instructor at No. 1 Operational Training Unit RAAF, at Sale, Victoria, when the bicycle he was riding collided with a bus.
