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 WWII. 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 WWII 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 WWII RAFtype multiengined 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.
