Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 173
Stephen Fry's programme "Qi" comes into mind here, where i name, with what appears to be suspiciously like an Avro Anson variant, but the klaxon is about to go off for the wrong answer 
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 173
Come on Cliff, quit stalling and give them some feedback 
Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 173
More grief from John L.
Looks a bit like an Anson but no.
Its not that common but more than one built.

Re: Aircraft Identification Challenge 173
I know this photo is not the correct aircraft but I found this looking for a Anson variant.
A lovely photo indeed.
Except for the engine cowling's, the nose and the glazing are pretty dam close.

We have a winner. Not sure what the operational history.
The Anson pics are impressive
