Wow. Beautifully done... of a very rare aircraft as well. Don't these folks also have the only flying Lockheed Hudson? Let's hope that they make a similar video of that one.
(full disclosure: as a youngster I made 1/72 Airfix plastic models of both the Anson and the Hudson.)

Close-ish, the flying Hudson is with Temora in Australia. The Anson's owner has recently acquired a potentially-restorable NZ Hudson, and is considering his options. The airframe has considerable historic value as is, however.

Errol-
sorry to confuse NZ and AUS- I'm sure you get way too much of that.
I'm pleased to see your picture of the Hudson project. I hope that it can be restored to flight. Naturally, I'd like to see one flying in the USA or in Canada, where I could more easily see it, but anther one saved (and maybe flying) anywhere is very good news!

The Anson and (especially) the Hudson are two types I'm surprised there aren't more preserved/flying considering their adaptability to civil purposes.

I guess the availability of surplus C-47s put them out of business.
