Not an Auster but this pic appeared in tonight’s Grimsby Telegraph. The caption next to it reads “An aeroplane on the sands, at Cleethorpes seafront, year unknown.”
Can anybody identify the type and give a year?

It’s a DH.6 (Clutching Hand) probably G-EAQC which was at Cleethorpes in 1920.

Of course they are – my apologies. You can see the resemblance though can’t you?!
Hat, coat, taxi waiting!!!

They are “D”‘s No guns and Denmark had the F.86.D

Hello all,
This is my first post, so lets hope it works.
I’ve been recently working on a project of to detail the operational histories of US Cold War-era fighter jets, including the F-84 Thunderjet/Thunderstreak series. I’m trying to match up operational histories with serial numbers, which is not as easy as it sounds!Information on these old jets is brutally hard to find, especially unit histories, crashes, combat losses, scrappings, that sort of thing, more than just the s/n. In particular, I have little on the West German F-84Fs except serial numbers, though I know about 36% crashed. Also for the Italian, Greek, Turkish and even the French F-84s, I can’t find any place where there is a list of what serial numbers crashed where and when, and what happened to them after they were retired, what USAF units they came from, how they were disposed of, that sort of thing.
Perhaps someone here could assist me, or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Nate
These Thunderjets were parked as decoys in the 70’s at RDAF Vandel, all the serials were over painted.
