The Queensland Air Museum has acquired Auster J5G VH-BYP (c/n 2945). Did it have any history before it came to Australia in 1952 as a J5B VH-KBZ? After an accident in 1953 it was rebuilt as a J5G and re-registered VH-BYP. Can anyone enlighten me on the difference between a J5B and a J5G?

Hi Ron,
the J-5B had a Gipsy Major, and the J-5G had a Blackburn Cirrus (much unloved). I’m restoring J-5B WBA.
Will see what I can find for you through the local Auster Mafia.
