We are restoring Auster IV MT243 in Suffolk. Her last CofA expired 1970 so this could be the one!

Indeed I am. I saw it there a couple of weeks ago. I also believe an Auster IV is being restoration to flying condition, which hasn’t flown for some 30 years.

Please identify the Auster IV for those of use who are not in the loop!
