Fantastic job so far gentlemen!! The Anson is near and dear to my heart as my Dad worked on them as an aero-mechanic during the War and it was the first WWII vintage aircraft I ever sat in. My grandfather purchased one as salvage after the war and it sat out behind the barn for years, slowly being robbed of its sheet metal and other parts. In fact, it looked much like your bird when you found it. I would spend hours in that thing, playing at being an aviator. Thanks for re-kindling those great memories and keep up the good work. I for one will be watching with keen interest.
Cheers,
Don
