Hi folks,
Does anyone know what plans there are for this machine?Flypast,A*roplane etc announced about a year ago that she was being imported back to the UK and that it could be flying on the display circuit in 2004.I know it’s not exactly beautiful (there’s an understatement!) but it’s characteristic,unique and British and I’d love to see her displaying at somewhere like Old Warden (a future candidate for the collection perhaps??).
Follow the link for a photo,but I warn you not to expect anything too pretty!!

Cant wait to see this one, now registered as G-CBOA to Cliff Baker of Newark, Auster rebuilder extrodinare. Although it was registered in 2002 and was airpworth when shipped it still has no Cof A. I understand that they also have parts from the Agricola prototype ZK-BMI and lots of bits from NZ, enough to rebuild a second example!
Although I am not sure if I rather see the Agricola or the LAC Prospector G-APWZ that went to NZ about the same time the Auster arrived.
