This photograph showcases the Avro Anson I K6152, the very first production prototype of this iconic British aircraft. The Anson, a versatile and influential design produced by the Avro Aircraft Company, was initially conceived as a military trainer and later evolved into an important transport and communications aircraft. The Anson I, with its distinctive rounded fuselage and twin engines, made its first flight on March 5, 1935. K6152, registered G-EBKD, was the first of its kind to be produced, and it served as an essential testbed for the refinement of the Anson design. Its innovative features, such as retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, set new standards for trainer aircraft of the time. In this image, K6152 is seen taxing on the runway, its engines warmed up and ready for takeoff. The crew, dressed in their flying gear, stand near the aircraft, exchanging last-minute instructions and checks. The hangar in the background, filled with other aircraft, underscores the significance of Avro as a leading aircraft manufacturer during this era. The Anson's impressive career spanned over three decades, with over 8,500 built and serving in various roles for the Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, and other air forces around the world. This photograph, a captivating snapshot of history, offers a glimpse into the early days of the Avro Anson's illustrious legacy.
