Its a shame as I have always wanted to see this aircaft and at one time it was possible to see it by prior arrangement. Does anybody know if this is still the case?

Yup, only the Auster 9 is on show, hanging from the roof (surprise surprise) – presumably the first Auster G-AGOH will go into storage with the other aircraft when it leaves Newark. Shame the county council doesn’t put them all on display somewhere

It’s in store at Snibston Discovery Park at Coalville
It doesn’t appear as an exhibit on their web page, so presumably it is dismantled and in protective custody?

It’s in store at Snibston Discovery Park at Coalville here in Leicestershire, along with a Taylorcraft C plus 2 (the oldest Auster product) and an Auster Archer. Don’t have any photos of it in store but presumably it’s still in it’s (inaccurate) green/dark brown camouflage scheme
