Seen for the first time, this new video takes you through the remarkable interior of the world's sole airworthy Avro Anson Mk.I with restorer Bill Reid providing the tour insights. The Anson embodies the most remarkable collection of correct period equipment typically used by an Anson serving as a maritime patrol bomber operating over the coast of southern England in the early stages of WW-II. This remarkable space is like a journey back in time. You have to wonder what the Oshkosh judges would think of this!
--------------------------------------------
SOLE SURVIVOR FOR SALE!
This stunning early WW-II bomber is the sole airworthy survivor of the very distinctive Avro Anson Mk.I, an aircraft of massive significance to the British Commonwealth at the beginning of World War Two.
A total of 11,020 Ansons were subsequently built, however most of the wartime era Ansons have been lost to the ravages of time. Only this example has been lovingly restored over an intensive decade long mission, to return her not just to pristine airworthy condition, but to 1940 RAF service stature right down to every internal detail.
This magnificent aircraft, one of only five active WW-II RAF-type multi-engined bombers still operating worldwide, has thrilled audiences at airshows throughout New Zealand, won numerous restoration awards, and even hosted Royalty!
The aircraft is now reluctantly offered for sale in full airworthy condition, having just completed a deep 10 year inspection, and with a very large inventory of spares to support her active flying life well into the future.

That was a great explanation of what the guys used to get up to in the back, my Uncle (Terence McClymont) flew with Coatal Command they went to America after the war to work as a pilot and brought up 3 children, one who had to ring up the Minixter Of Transport in the middle of the night to inform him that a plane had been brought down over the Scottish Borders and landed on top of the town of Lockerbie.

I've never seen such a well-equipped aircraft! Usually half that stuff is missing.

Not forgetting that the Anson carried the first ‘beam bending’ equipment that helped to counter the first German Radio Guided bombers in the early days of the Blitz. The Ansons carried modified medical equipment that produced radio waves that effectively ‘bent the beams’

Madly perfect example of what is possible. I’d love to see this bloke resurrect the Beaufort being restored in south east Queensland . Meanwhile there is at least one Bristol Beaufighter capable of being brought to flying status in NSW which would be the moneyshot of all warbirds.

at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum we have an Anson (C-FHOT RCAF 12417) which was built in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1944. It is finished in trainer yellow overall with WW2 markings and is equipped as an instrument training aircraft.

In typical flying conditions it would take much skill, training and discipline to communicate and navigate, and bailing out would be hard to impossible. BZ to the brave guys who flew in these things
