Those airworthy Ansons.
Tom, Do you have any idea who might be making a Mk I airworthy in Canada?
We are restoring a Mk II to static display status for the RCAF Mem. Mus.
Canadian Warplane had a Mk V, CF-HOT, flying for many years on which I was crew chief and sometime co-pilot but I have not seen it flying lately. They also had another Mk V fairly well advanced but it was out West at another 'Wing' of the CWH org. I retired some 15 years ago and I am out of touch with them.
We are in touch with Robyn Reid in New Zealand who has a Mk I almost ready to fly and another Mk I which is being brought up to static display standard. He managed to gather up about nine boxed Cheetahs.
Our problem is, we have very few drawings and we are looking for more. These Mk IIs have been sitting outside for the last 50 - 60 years and the wood has disappeared. Some of the steel tubing is OK but mostly the bottom tubes are gone but leaving enough to be able to replicate them.
Maybe the Canadian fixing the Mk I to fly has some drawings!
