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.

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... :p

Look forward to the pics! :D

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?
