I think that the undercarriage may have been substantially revised over development. According to Wikipedia, the Mk I had manually operated gear "which required no less than 140 turns of the hand crank by the pilot"! Later marks had hydraulic retraction.

Actually, describing the Anson as a 'bomber' is a little optimistic...
