On 28 October 2003, the Anson restoration project was officially started with Colonel Morey and members of the Wing Museum Board gathering with project leader, Colin Ainsworth and his team for a group photo beside the skeleton of the aircraft.  It is expected to take 4 years to complete the project in plenty of time for the 100^th Anniversary of flight in Canada.

In celebrating the start of the project Captain Rob Arsenault, a well known aviation artist, donated a painting of the Anson to the Museum which was accepted by Colonel Morey.  The Anson depicted in the painting is the same one being restored by Colin Ainsworth and his team.

In the Museum there is a large scale model of the Anson, so all the visitors will be able to see what the aircraft will look like once the restoration is completed.
