Former RCAF 12477 resplendent in it's original colors. Sold surplus circa 1956 as CF-HQZ, it flew with Trans Air and a year later Austin Airways. Stored after a take off accident in February 1959, it was acquired by Canadian Warplane Heritage in 1974 for possible rebuild. When another Anson already in flying condition was bought, this one was trucked across Canada to Vancouver for a restoration by the Western Wing of CWH. Deemed surplus by the museum, it was sold to the Reynolds Aviation Museum in 1992. It remains on display, but has not flown for some time.
