Not sure on that one, although it has been mentioned on here before ( she is XP282 ) I bought it from a good friend of mine who lives in my neck of the woods. I would love to find out more on its service history but alas google does not throw up much for me in that respect.[ATTACH=CONFIG]240573[/ATTACH]

Is this the project that a forum member had years ago in the Coventry area?

Hello David. I do not have a full list at the moment as I’m working out the boxes that it came in ( workshop being built ) but I know that the right hand engine cowl, prop, top perspex, fuel tank (can’t remember which ) wireless set 62, EM door release handles are missing. I will try and get a full list sorted as soon as I can. The project has come with a vast amount of spares and most of the smaller hard to find parts are with it so I am very lucky really to just be looking for a small selection of hens teeth. Thanks for the interest.

Jon -do you have a list of bits your missing for the project?

Probably a No4 Mk1, that’s what we have in our Auster IV (or will have when we eventually finish it!).
Sold now but good info for a further search.
