Hi.
Regarding the wind in aerial on the Anson. When I was doing my square bashing at Bridge North, one day we senior men were told to report to the Guard Room for a dirty job at Cosford. At the Guard room we boarded an Anson
On the pan was an Avro Anson ticking over and we were duly put on board. I ended up next to the pilot amid jeers from the lads! The pilot said, “You’r not going to sit there doing nothing, you can wind then undercarriage up. There was a huge wheel at the side of my seat, it took thirty turns down and thirty turns up!
