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.

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

Twice in the last month an Anson has flown over me at home in Shropshire. Lovely sound from the engines. Are there many still flying?

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.

Actually a very ugly plane. The Airspeed Oxford was much prettier.

I regard it as a looker.

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’

The Shuttleworth Collection would like to buy that airworthy Avro Anson Mk.1 to UK in a future.

It would make a lot of sense for Shuttleworth, especially if they were to use it for selling joy rides.

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

Wonderful. Thank you for saving and re equipping an often overlooked classic aeroplane.

This is wonderful. The Anson has always been one of my favourite WW2 aircraft.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight need to acquire that

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.

Great informative video. I remember these along with DH Devons at RAF Hendon in 1956/57 with the Metropolitan Communication Squadron.

That looked great, my dad was in the RAF in the war and loved the Anson, would tell me stories about them.

The RAAF should put their hand up to buy this. Its an important part of their history.
