-I have replied to this enquiry on yet another (a 3rd) Forum.
Basically RT497 served with 38 Group Communications Flight for 9 months in 1945 and later spent just over a month with 316 Squadron before suffering a minor accident in Scotland in 1946.
It certainly did have a varied civil career but it is highly unlikely that the marks I-METE were worn by this particular Auster and as far as I am aware the marks OY-ANV were not taken up. And now it appears to be in Finland.

-Auster SE-AMC
Hi James,
According to the Swedish civil aircraft register, SE-AMC is still current. It was registered as SE-AMC on July 8, 1985. I checked the Danish CAA on-line register for OY-ANV, but no hits. PM me if you need owner and contact info.
Regards,
Jan

From this thread on WIX, given the number of Austerers here, I thought an answer maybe more likely. Certainly seems to have had a varied civilian life! The history seems lifted from the Auster production list here, which gives it as an AOP.V.
I've no connection, just passing the query on. Over to you?
