This advert has appeared on the 'Classic Wings' FB page, and as it doesn't seem to have been posted here, thought that it might be of interest. Hopefully it will remain in New Zealand...
'NEW TO THE MARKET - WORLD'S ONLY FLYABLE MK.1 ANSON
For the first time in history, a fully restored, fully airworthy, immaculate Avro Anson Mk.I bomber of the type used by the RAF in WW-II is going on the market to find a new home somewhere in the vast warbird world.
Restored from the ground up by a team led by Bill Reid, the rebuild consumed an entire decade, not just making the aircraft airworthy with freshly overhauled Cheetah engines etc, but with all of the original RAF cockpit and cabin accessories.
After a decade in restoration, it subsequently spent another decade delighting airshow crowds all across New Zealand where it is based. It has never missed an show due to any mechanical problem with the aircraft. There are endless attributes to this amazing flying artefact. It will be interesting to see where it goes in the world to win over its next adoring airshow audience!'
