Brief historical background: The Avro Anson Mk.I was designed in the mid-1930s as a maritime patrol aircraft for the Royal Air Force. The Mk.I version entered service in 1936, becoming the first all-metal combat aircraft with retractable landing gear produced in the UK. This aircraft was widely used by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, mainly for crew training, transport, liaison duties, and anti-submarine warfare. It played a notable role in the Battle of the Atlantic and in training Allied crews between 1936 and 1952 (spanning World War II and the early Cold War period).
