Nice! Now I'm by no means an Anson expert, but if memory serves the undercarriage rear arm was a bit beefier than that? It always struck me as resembling a steel beam, whilst this one has thing bracing?

Interesting, most people focus on Galland's comments about the 262 where he talks about Hitlers mistake using it as a bomber.
Galland also believed its use as a fighter could only prolong the war and cause more suffering, he did not believe it would have brought a victory to Germany. Quote:

Good ol' Dolfo...
sometimes I wonder what these folks went through deep inside, it must have been such a hard experience going through rise and fall and still keep your chin up despite knowing you had fought for one of the cruelest, most sanguinary dictators ever. |

I think that the undercarriage may have been substantially revised over development. According to Wikipedia, the Mk I had manually operated gear "which required no less than 140 turns of the hand crank by the pilot"! Later marks had hydraulic retraction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Anson Actually, describing the Anson as a 'bomber' is a little optimistic...

Ansons, Halifaxs, Stirlings, Hampdens, Whitleys ... so many bombers that saw WWII service that are forgotten these days in favor of the one or two that made it into the movies

Very cool.
It's one of the planes I have wanted to fly in Clod since the beginning. I have a 1/72 scale Airfix model of one that I purchased when I was in London, ahem, 40 years ago this summer.
