Does anyone know the state of play with the Anson that is being rebuilt at Elvington

Why don't you send Blue2 a PM?

by **Blue_2** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 5:16 pm

it's ok, I've seen this now. Pm queries about the museum's aircraft are always welcome by the way. The Anson is still progressing slowly, I'll try and remember to get some photos at the weekend.

Photos would be nice, it's a long time since I've been anywhere near one.

Thanks guys, might even try and get there myself................

I never went anywhere near the Handley Page building yesterday, I'm next in on Sunday so I'll see what I can do then...

You shouldn't call a v-bomber names like that...

I was there yesterday but never got around to chatting with you guys on Lindy,

did get some pics though that will be posted later this week...........

Was in the HP hanger, but never saw anyone to ask....... :((

better luck next time........ B-)

Sorry, I was a tad busy with the Buccaneer, then on to the Victor straight away to prep and run her. I'll do what I can on Sunday for you. Was quite nice once we got Lindy struck up and some warmth into the cockpit. Rich wouldn't know about that with his draughty old Shack...

Look forward to the pics!

keep an eye open on here Graham, there may be a pic of you ambling away with one of your cohorts from the Dove engine run..................

Oh dear...! I don't photograph well, as readers of the York Press will have found out last week! :))

by **Blue_2** » Tue Apr 02, 2013 5:33 pm

I took a couple of pics of the Anson from the staff side of the HP building on Saturday. I'll post them up for your enjoyment tomorrow

As promised...

nice photos ....good to see progress being be made.

by **Sploosher** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:22 pm

thanks for the pics Graham..................

things are looking good, any idea how much longer it willbe before she struts her stuff

by **Blue_2** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:55 am

As far as I know there's no timescale on this one, she'll be an 'it's done when it's done' resto I believe! Given the state she was in when she arrived, it's amazing how much work has gone into her to get this far...

Interesting to see, thanks for posting. Is it going to fly or taxi? And, what is the small biplane in the foreground of the first picture?
