This photo you posted has answered many questions I had regarding her time after she stopped flying and I got her in Australia.

Dont suppose you have any more?

Thanks again, this pic made my day!

Blimey, probably a bit optimistic, but I was rather hoping she would be covered and with wings on by now!
Pm sent re pics you requested. Took two shots of her at Kai Tak in 1980. I left there in December 1981 and don’t recall seeing her there then.

As you can see….some vestiges of that orange paint still lives on!

Love how the perspex panels have been glued(??) into the front frame. However it would have helped keep the weather out.

Yes mate, that is the one!!! WE552/HKG4 10 yrs after she stopped flying.

As you can see, she is slowly returning to her former glory. I could have brought a flying Auster with the $$ it has taken me to get her here from Brisbane and too this stege…..Aaaah but it has been fun so far bringing this ole girl back to her former original self

Before…..

After/now……

Did you get my email?

I would love hi-res copies of these.

Cheers

Adrian, you are an absolute legend mate!!

Love that photo of my HKG4! In fact it answers a question or 2 I had concerning her. Fantastic!

This is the colour scheme she will return to once the rebuild is completed. I managed to pick up an original signal pistol to mount back on the floor (I can see the original holes in the floor where the mount used to sit), so she will eventually be in original stock military config again.

Thanks again, I really appreciate you finding this for me.

Anyone else??? Or is that pushing it a bit??

Cheers
Anthony…..still smiling

So Tony, 18 months later, how is the rebuild going? Any pics to share?

When I was in Hong Kong with the RAF in 1980, this anonymous orange Auster was parked in the Hong Kong Flying Club compound at Kai Tak with no markings. I assumed it was an ex RHKAAF T.7, and wonder if it was HKG-4/WE552 or can anyone identify it?
