Avro anson WW2 bomber control column

Original Avro Anson Control Column

The Avro Anson, Britain’s “Faithful Annie” was the RAF’s first monoplane with a retractable undercarriage and one of the most important training aircraft of the Second World War.

Originally designed for coastal reconnaissance, it flew anti-submarine patrols and air-sea rescue with Coastal Command before becoming the backbone of multi-engine pilot, navigator, wireless operator and bomb aimer training across the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. It served with the RAF, RAAF, RCAF and many other air forces from 1936 and through WW2.

A genuine piece of aviation history that links you straight back to the crews who trained on “Faithful Annie” before moving on to the heavy bombers in the fight against Berlin and Tokyo.
