General Characteristics and Role
The Avro Anson Mk.I was a British twin-engine aircraft developed from the civilian Avro 652 transport. Initially designed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) for the roles of coastal reconnaissance and light bomber, it quickly became obsolete as a frontline combat aircraft after the start of World War II. Its primary and most enduring role, however, became that of a multi-engine aircrew trainer. Nicknamed “Faithful Annie,” the Anson served as the mainstay training aircraft for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), teaching thousands of pilots, navigators, wireless operators, and bomb aimers in the UK, Canada, Australia, and other Commonwealth nations. Over 8,000 were built in total.
