I have just received a request from a modeller colleague in NZ who has aquired an ex RHKAF Auster T.7 and would like to find a photo of any of the Austers used out there. The only one I have is this one taken when my brother was with 28 Sqn. Any out there?

I understand that that AOP9’s in Hong Kong were at some point painted silver… I have these photos saved on my computer showing XN410. It looks more like white from the photos, but I’m told it’s silver. In these photos, she’s spraying DTD at Christmas Island. Credit to the photographer… Not me!

I don’t know anything about Hong Kong T7s but I believe that these two AOP9s went to Hong Kong.
Auster XN407 with Royal Malayan Air Force Pioneer FM1019 at Changi in 1962.
Auster XN410 with Beaver XP818 again Changi 1962.
