FSX RAF Avro Anson C19 TX154

This repaint showcases the Royal Air Force Avro Anson C19 TX154 as it appeared under the Southern Communications Squadron in 1963, notably stationed at RAF Bovingdon. Originally delivered in 1949, this twin-engine aircraft served multiple liaison and communication roles within the RAF. Developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this texture set is designed for the FSAddon payware Avro Anson C19 model, which must be purchased separately. The repaint work carried out by Peter Watkins offers crisp surface details and accurately portrays the distinct markings seen on TX154 during its service life.

Highlighting the Avro Anson and TX154

The Avro Anson, first conceived as a maritime reconnaissance platform, gradually found its niche across various RAF communications and training squadrons. The C19 variant, in particular, introduced upgrades that made it ideally suited for short-haul transport tasks and liaison flights. Registration TX154 was assigned in 1949, granting the aircraft a lengthy operational chapter that included duty at RAF Bovingdon with the Southern Communications Squadron. This repaint meticulously captures the original color scheme from that era.
