G-AOIX became peter jacksons “Plastic” Tiger G-BPAJ. The Fuselage of it was also the engine test bed for our BE2 Replica G-AWYI at Sywell in 1969. Dad brought all the Wiltshire school of flying Examples. I still have copies of the WSOF pilots notes for the A/C.

If I am being a pedant, I don’t think it was ever known as the AOP5. It was an Auster V, used in the AOP role (as indeed was the Mark III and IV). The AOP designation didn’t appear until the AOP 6 and AOP 9. Happy to be told I am wrong. Looks suspiciously like Maurice Hammond’s Mark V. Y11F – can you confirm?

I though it was a Mark V rather than an AOP5 also. Thanks for confirming the Aileron Droop with full flap, i thought that was the case.
I have flown a J1 a J1N, J5, MkIV, MKV, AOP 6 and a Terrier( Civil AOP6) butr never a AOP9.
A the time of his death Dad owned Beagle MK 11 G-ASCC, it got sold off with lots of other stuff 😡

This photo illustrates one of the most pecuilar effects I’ve ever encountered in an aeroplane – upon landing, sometimes and I stress that, the left wing lifts up for no apparent reason. We have never found out why, but it just happens. Weird or what?

This is what is the case with the photo here.

Think its called a cross wind 😀
