Andre – I believe G-AJUD is still in the U.K . It’s been around for a number of years as a project.

As for your MK.6 -could you give us an update on what you still need?

David,

Thank you for your interest. There sure are parts we need whether the’re missing or in bad shape.

– propellor
– capping rings on top of fuel tank openings
– cockpit instrument layout panel (black background plate which holds all instruments). Sorry no correct description at hand right now.
– rubber tubes which connect the fuel tanks from the wing to the airframe. We have the taps but the old rubber parts are poor.

More things may come up once working on them. Guess that’s the charm of working on old planes. There’s always a new surprise around the corner.

Started today constructing a new leading edge for the lefthand wing. Not finished yet but made progress.

I guess the Auster Club may know more on her where abouts. Although I live in the Netherlands, I haven’t heard of her (yet).
I know some other Austers operate out of Midden Zeeland airport but that’s about 300km from my place.

For our MK.6 VF608 project we used 3 different wings of which none where from the original VF608. Could be one of them came from G-AJUD but that is/was a J-1 and I doubt whether the wings are of similiar construction.

Cheers, André

Plenty Austers from the 50/60s on my Christchurch pages…scroll through the alphabetical list of residents pictures of 9 different Austers….

Thanks!

No luck finding VF608 though.

Nice thread guys!

Just wondering if one of you ‘oldtimers’ has pictures of Auster mk.6 serial VF608. We’re still trying to locate pictures of it when it was in military service.

Cheers, André
