EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the historic moment of the unveiling ceremony of a 1947 Avro Anson at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry Airport, Baginton. The aircraft's journey has been one filled with challenges and setbacks but now stands as a testament to resilience and dedication. Over the years, this magnificent plane fell victim to vandals who mercilessly smashed its fuselage and ripped off its fabric covering. Left exposed to the elements at Halfpenny Green airfield near Wolverhampton, it endured harsh weather conditions that further deteriorated its condition. However, hope arrived in the form of new owners at the Midland Air Museum who saw beyond its dilapidation and envisioned restoring it to its former glory.
