We feel the need to bring some historic facts for those who don't like to learn or hear the truth about Avro Ansons' combat deployment during WWII. Our Anson MH120 flies in the exact 1939 camouflage and "VX-B" codes as a tribute to the Coastal Command crews who fought in these vulnerable "glass houses" during the early days of the war. Please do not desecrate their legacy by claiming they never existed!

Aerial Victories at Dunkirk (1940): During the Dunkirk evacuation on June 1, 1940, an Anson from No. 500 Squadron was attacked by ten Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Despite being outclassed, the crew (led by Pilot Officer Phillip Peters) managed to shoot down two German fighters and damage a third. Peters was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for this action.

First RAF Submarine Attack (1939): Just three days after the war began, on September 5, 1939, an Anson from No. 500 Squadron carried out the first RAF attack on a German U-boat in the North Sea.

First Allied Aircraft lost in aerial combat (1939): September 5, 1939 Anson K6183 shot down over the Noth Sea after losing air battle with Heinkel 115 floatplane. The only survivor Pilot Officer Laurence Edwards (a New Zealander) was rescued from the water by the very German crew that shot him down. He became the first British airman taken prisoner of war (POW) in WWII.

Anti-Shipping and Gunship Modifications: In August 1940, some Ansons were converted into "gunships" by installing a 20mm cannon that fired through the floor. These were used to attack German fast attack craft (E-boats) in the English Channel.

Bombing Operations: Ansons of No. 217 Squadron were used to bomb invasion barges in French ports during the autumn of 1940 to deter German invasion plans.

Maritime Reconnaissance: At the outbreak of the war, 26 squadrons were operational with the Anson, conducting "Kipper Patrols" to protect Allied shipping from enemy ships and submarines.

BIG NEWS!!!!

Team Bring Annie home have been working very hard to bring to life Michael Berry's Dream of seeing Avro Anson MH120 Gentle Annie not only in the UK, but here, in Yorkshire! Built in 1943 in Yeadon, Joining the RAAF in 1944, lovingly restored by Bill Reid and his Team before being sold to Richard Santus of RAF Station Czechoslovakia. MH120 made her UK debut in 2025, but not up North where she's from. We're not quite sure how but Team Bring Annie Home have managed it..........but in June 2026 Annie is coming home, for the first time in over 80 years MH120 is back up north.........In Yorkshire!!

Thanks to the work of Michael, Richard Santus and his Team RAF Station Czechoslovakia that is now a reality, when Richard readily agreed to let us "Bring Annie Home" we had to search for the perfect place to hold a 3 day event, somewhere in Yorkshire to host Yeadon born Gentle Annie, somewhere with fantastic facilities, hangars, wonderful staff and a serious passion for aircraft, and that place is in Breighton, Real Aeroplane Club , Charles, Ian and the team are helping us put together a fantastic 3 days for YOU! So SAVE THE DATE 24-26th JUNE 2026 and Keep your eyes peeled for further details on the events and where to buy tickets.

Please give our social media a follow for all details in the coming weeks.

V sobotu 7.2. jsme měli v klubu Shelter dobový mejdan úplně se vším, co patří do Londýna roku 1944 včetně zatemnění oken! Ve 20:15 byl dokonce nálet, takže jsme museli všechno zhasnout čekat co bude. Naštěstí to vysypali jinam a zábava mohla pokračovat. K tanci a poslechu hrála živá hudba v podání Swing Melody Orchestra Honzy Veverky. Akci u nás pořádal spolek Czechoslovak WAAF Reen děkujeme děvčata měly jste to fakt nádherné!
