Avro Anson
Anyone any idea why one of these has flown over our house near Southport 3 times in the last hour? Great looking plane and nice noise, but confused as to why?

Cheers - get all sorts of planes over, unusual for one to fly over 4 times! Any others likely to be over at all?

We're having a heritage week at BAE which is why we have the visiting aircraft. A few lucky employees have been given flights in them which may have been this evening.

A nice looking plane and subject of the best "affordable" Airfix kit....lots of movable parts! Made several when young, and another more recently which for some inexplicable reason (apart from good taste) I decided to paint in BOAC livery!
Nearer to home we have WD413 G-VROE.....also a genuine Anson.
Now this is a REAL Anson! Beautiful Mk1 which I was fortunate enough to see at Omaka in 2016. The detail in the restoration is of absolutely top quality.
