Avro Anson - The Inside Story
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!

A genuine Pacific Theatre combat veteran, which served with the highly revered RAAF 75 Squadron. After three decades of abandonment in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, it was rescued and restored, long enough ago to have demonstrated just how well that job was done! This aircraft embodies the impressive 'convertible' two seat configuration, created on this very airframe by the engineers at Pion...
Omaka Milestone - Eindecker Engine Run

It was another great event at Omaka this evening as the Fokker E.III Eindecker that arrived in the country just four months ago, was fired up for the first time as a complete, intact aircraft. Four the past few months, both the airframe and the engine have benefitted from some intense scrutiny by engine specialist Tony Wytenburg, along with Wayne Tantrum, Dan Coleman and Aaron Patchett. This en...

My father was a radio op in Ansons flying in a commas flight from Aldergrove in the early 50s. His pilot was an Australian (Dick Turpin !) who would take off to head for England then get my old man to take over the yoke and then go back and sleep off his booze. My dad was in one Anson that crash landed onto the runway in Belfast harbour when the main spar broke.
A great video of my all time favourite aircraft.
I'm just building the Airfix - model in 1:48 - Thanks to the video, it helps a lot for additional internal detailing ! Thank you for the very impressing Detail - sequences ! With best wishes from Germany ! ( Excuse my school-englisch, its a long time ago, that I learned the language ... ) 👋👍👍👍
Tremendous!. Thank you. 👍🏻🏴✌️
This was great! I'm a scale modeller (48 scale RAAF) and the Anson is on my list. Often finding references for superdetailing is difficult. This video is probably all I could ever want. I think the Anson just moved right up on my list!
Any Coherence to any aspect of His Majesties Royal Defense Establishment between the Wars? How did they screw this up in less than 20 years?
What a beautiful aircraft, thanks for the tour
Good video thanks
Very informative video. The aircraft looks fantastic.
A great restoration you have done Bill, take my hat off to you mate, we have come a long way since the early days of Nelson but we are still out there still doing it.
Great video thanks for the upload ❤
My father was a RAF Navigator/WO in WW2 and did his initial navigation training on Ansons. He told me it was a navigators dream because of the excellent all around view and his spacious ‘office’ he said he never had such luxury on the aircraft he flew later on operations. Very interesting for me to see your video so thanks!
Most informative. Many thanks for your description! ❤
Thats is amazing restoration, so well complete will all the accessories.
The Airfix 1/72 Avro Anson was my 1st scale model build when I was 8 years old. 60 yrs later, still one of my fav early WW2 British planes.
No mention of the horrible task of manually cranking the undercart up!
My dad flew in Ansons, and he said after a few months of operations his pilot had a left like Joe Louis.
Didn't know anything about this aircraft and now after watching this video it is one of my favourites
Is ANYTHING missing from this wonderful machine?
came here bc dad flew them. Thanks for the video. Beautiful restoration.
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.
There's also an Avro Anson Mk. I at the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, an Anson Mk. II at the National Airforce Museum of Canada at CFB Trenton, Ontario, and an Anson Mk. V at the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon, Manitoba. Sadly, none of them fly today. The Avro Anson was one of the most important training aircraft in the RCAF and a backbone of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
Great informative video. I remember these along with DH Devons at RAF Hendon in 1956/57 with the Metropolitan Communication Squadron.
Absolutely brilliant !
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.
