Photo Comment

This Anson was constructed from a collection of parts from a variety of incomplete airframes lying in southern Alberta. The wing was manufactured from scratch according to original plans, with the port side left unskinned to illustrate the combined wood and metal construction. The aircraft is beautifully finished as RCAF 7401, which served throughout WWII with 18 SFTS at Vulcan, Alberta. It appears that substantial sections of 12587, a MkV, may have been incorporated.
