Lots of wings, plus the only airworthy Anson.

Sad to learn that there's only one airworthy Anson left. Time was ,as a boy, you could gaze up into East Anglian skies and always see an Anson.

plus the only airworthy Anson.

I think the owner of the Anson at Sleap (G-VROE/WD413) which regularly drones/proceeds overhead Shackleton Towers in a stately fashion, would beg to disagree.

....and Shuttleworth! G-AHKX

[treadigraph]

G-AHKX at Shuttleworth as well... both are post war examples though.

[Planemike]

OK.... Can we call the Australian one the "the oldest" airworthy Anson... ??!!!

[dduxbury310]

Well, the fuselage and engines are probably the oldest still flying. It has postwar-built wings and tailplane (all-metal), not so certain about the undercarriage, may be original - somebody will know.

My bad - apparently the only airworthy Mk.1
