FAA Austers

Oo knows anything about the above?

I believe the Fleet used ‘Osters(along with just about anything else that could have “Sea”put infront of it’s name),possibly the flat-four engined versions as well as the Cirrus/Gipsy-Major variants.

I’m after some info on colour schemes,serials,units,photos would be marvellous,etc.

I’d like to do an RN Auster for my 1/72nd scale FAA collection,but so far I’m turning up a blank.

Thanks for that Lee.

Mark that’s a superb picture,an Auster MkV I think with the flat four.

I reckon the serial is TJ704?

Cheers,Mark(Miggers)

There was an article in AE on that subject, but my memory isn’t telling me WHEN!!
