Old Aircraft Seat for Identification Please

After several months of forced abstinence from hunting out old aviation items, I decided it was high time I made an effort! So here’s the result of today’s foray – my initial thought was Avro Anson, but I am not so sure now having had a look online – Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks for that – It was just that I read that the three leg seats were from a DH Dragon and the Anson had four leg seats?

Yes, although there are different types for Anson/Avro XIX (the other sort has four feet and big headrests), the one I have seen have four feet.

There are some pictures in here …
