This is the only remaining airworthy Anson I and is now owned and operated by RAF Station Czechoslovakia. It is pictured landing on rw09 at LKPD to make its public debut in the Northern Hemisphere at Aviatická pouť 2025. The plane was built in 1943 and after its wartime service flew as VH-BAF. It was restored to flying condition between 2003 to 2012 and registered ZK-RRA. However, the New Zealand owners decided to sell so it was transported to, and re-assembled in Belgium for acceptance before flying to its new owners home base at Podhorany (LKPN).
