Was wondering if anyone knew of any non-airworthy Auster V aircraft that are up for sale at the minute? Ideally in as close to original condition as well, ie Lycoming engine (or no engine but cowlings), full length rear perspex canopy etc.
Cheers, Rob

Well, in my case it’s because I have more interest in the military versions, and in my opinion the Mk V’s and IV’s (as far as I know there’s only four IV’s left) are among the most attractive with the Lycoming engine. The Mk III is also a favourite of mine, but there’s only three in the UK – and one of them, last I heard, was up for sale for £25,000! Although there’s plenty in Australia…..

I used to own the one that Karl Edumdson now has at NEAM. Care to share why your interest specifically in a Mk V ?
