First time I've ever read 'powerful' and 'Anson' in the same sentence!
Wasn't Ben Macdui the place where a couple of F15s got caught out several years ago? (RAF controller talking to them was court martialled but cleared of blame)

I was up on Ben Macdui yesterday and took this picture of one of the Anson's Cheetah engines. Winter comes early in these parts :ok:
