The much anticipated news has come today, that the Avro Anson that has been under restoration in New Zealand, owned by Bill and Robin Reid, has made its first post-restoration flight, and that it was a complete success: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Airshows&action=display&thread=14662&page=3

This is the only Avro Anson in flying condition on the planet in original military configuration.

Here are some photo galleries of the aircraft, courtesy of Gavin Conroy:
