Didn’t get my flight today (up tomorrow instead) but some good planes on show, here’s a few pics from today – cheers to Neal H for keeping me company during the five hours or so waiting for the Austers to get back from Stoke Golding!
Richard Webber’s newly restored AOP 6, the number 36 is there because she flew in the Kings Cup Air Race in 1959
Auster AOP 9 I should be in tomorrow
Another nice AOP 9
Nice red civvy Auster
Not great pics, only have a compact digital, but will try and get some more tomorrow (hopefully be a few more Austers too)
Cheers, Rob

Now I’m wiser, thanks BlueRobin.

Hi Simon, this is an old thread resurrected from last year. In this time it is likely that the photos have been removed from RLangham’s server hence the red Xs.
The confusion caused by resurrecting old threads is one reason why the associated rule exists in the forum code of conduct. 🙂

Question please
How do I open the photos, all I have is a red X in small box clicking it brings me nothing, Tks

It’s a shame I’ll be away on holiday then or I could have dumped t’other half on her sister in Amesbury for the day and joined you.

Here’s some more photos from today – got my flight, it was in G-AMMS, believed to be the most famous Auster ever. Handling was a bit unusual but still great fun, took my mind off the extreme sunburn I got yesterday! Flew from Leicester to Stoke Golding (my local airstrip, met the owner today) and back, bit unusual seeing my house from the air, looks a lot different from what I expected. Many thanks to everyone over this past weekend who’s helped me fly and kept me entertained, Richard, Bryn, Paul, Neal, Mark, and the load of other people who’s names i’ve either forgotten or didn’t know. Anyway, here’s some pics from today
My ‘ride’, Auster J5K G-AMMS
Nice Lycoming engined Auster 5 Alpha
Auster J1N G-AHCN
Mmmm Taylorcraft – there were three about today, one had spatted wheels
My place from the air, it’s pretty much bang on in the middle of the photo
A sunburnt me trying to keep the Auster nice and steady
Beagle Huskey, the last Auster to serve in the military
Certainly a great weekend, hopefully won’t be the last time i’m in an Auster as well
Hi Rob,
where is your pic of G-AHCN gone? :confused:
