I’m not trying to hi-jack this thread, but does anyone know what happened to the Auster AOP 9 that the AOC 38 Grp (then AVM “Mickey” Martin – of Dambusters fame) had, reputedly, won from Gen Sir Frank King (then GOC 3 Div) in a card game!! I know it was at Odiham because I (as a Met Man!) was the navigator when this a/c flew to Manby for one of the 38 Gp Execs to give a lecture at the College Of Air Warfare.
