The RCAF decommissions the last Avro Anson. The Anson, named after a British Admiral of the 18th century, entered service in 1940 and was selected as the standard twin-engine aircraft for the training of pilots, observers, wireless-operators and bomb aimers. Over 20,000 aircrew received their training in it.
