Thanks for sharing this shot, I assume it was in that scheme for filming purposes. Hopefully it will revert to it's original markings at some time.

Think I prefer it in the more normal scheme

Mine was a year later - ATC camp at Dishforth in 1962
I was in the co-pilot#s seat. My main memory was the drafts through the holes!

Spent a few happy hours in Ansons in the A.T.C. When I had a PPL I used to fly at Booker. The Frasers owned the Anson in the photo,and it was a common sight there, and I remember marshalling it through a VERY narrow gap between parked aircraft. Don't know who owns it now.
