Original Avro Anson Control Column
The Avro Anson, Britain’s “Faithful Annie” was the RAF’s first monoplane with a retractable undercarriage and one of the most important training aircraft of the Second World War.
Originally designed for coastal reconnaissance, it flew anti-submarine patrols and air-sea rescue with Coastal Command before becoming the backbone of multi-engine pilot, navigator, wireless operator and bomb aimer training across the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. It served with the RAF, RAAF, RCAF and many other air forces from 1936 and through WW2.
A genuine piece of aviation history that links you straight back to the crews who trained on “Faithful Annie” before moving on to the heavy bombers in the fight against Berlin and Tokyo.

The RAAF was very conservative in the naming of their aircraft in the early war period and this likely came from a USAAC aircraft that was handed to the RAAF shortly after the Japanese attacked pearl harbor.
This was found in Australia where the USAAC and later USAAF had several aircraft named "Miss Carriage" including a B-17E, B-17F, B-24D and B-26.

The aircraft was delivered in 1945 to 36th squadron of the RAAF as A65-123 and was used to transport Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh around the country in 1954.
