Anson Reborn - Restoring a Wartime Legend
In this Hangar Talk episode of the Fighting High podcast, Steve Darlow speaks to New Zealand businessman and aviation enthusiast Bill Reid about the extraordinary restoration of Avro Anson Mk.I MH120.
Known affectionately as ‘Gentle Annie’, the aircraft was discovered in Australia in a heavily modified and neglected condition. What Bill initially imagined might be a three-to-five-year project ultimately became a ten-year labour of love, involving painstaking research, the recovery of rare components and the efforts of more than 100 people.
Bill describes the challenges of recreating a wartime Anson, including finding original-style cowlings, Fairey Reed propellers, a gun turret and suitable Cheetah engines. He also recalls the excitement of the aircraft’s first flight in 2012, its remarkable reception at airshows, and the emotional connection it provides to the thousands of aircrew who trained in Ansons during the Second World War.
Now flying in Europe under the auspices of RAF Station Czechoslovakia, MH120 continues to bring that history to life.
