Later again - and sorry to hijack the thread .... but curiosity got the better of me. I drove out to the airport and took around 20 pictures of the Anson - email me if you want the pictures. The aircraft is in remarkably good condition (very dry part of Australia, it's only rained twice since Christmas!)
The aircraft seems to have a turret hole in the top of the fuselage, although the turret is missing. Engines are seven cylinder radials (Definately not Pratt's - Cheetahs?) with wind up handle start. Both engines turn over. Manual undercarriage? Laminated timber main spars.
I suspect ex RAAF, somehow I doubt it was ever civil registered. I believe records are available.
Anyone know where the data plate may be?
