Yeah the forum keeps going down, server problems, the admin is trying to get it fixed though, should be back to normal by now

Well by the fact that in USA (probably USA) it’s worth $39.95 which equates to about £22 (at a guess) in GBP, i’d say £60 is a rip off! Then again, it is Britain were on about. You can pick up a 1/48 kit of a Eurofighter for about £15

Very nice, interesting addition to what is already a fine museum. Will the museum start offering tours around it like they do with the Argosy and Vulcan? Would imagine it would be very popular.
Very nice, always fascinated by pictures of this modern day fort.
You can do it before your provisional license as well, i think. It also lasts for five years, so after you’ve done your theory you have five years to get your proper license before doing it again

Possibly because it is the prototype J/1 and hence an important part of the UK civil aviation heritage?
True, but i’d prefer to see it flying, or at least kept in Leicestershire, a dedicated Auster museum at the site in Rearsby wouldn’t be a bad idea
No Hurricanes? Shame, was thinking of going, but can only go to one airshow for the next 10 months or so
Yeah and the spinner wouldn’t be the only hard small pointy thing :p
1/48 is a bit big for me, have a lack of space as well, but would happily buy several 1/72 Auster III’s, even thinking of a nice diorama i could make as well
Sorry, didn’t see that thread for some reason :S
Austers are beautiful aircraft, too bad the airworthy one owned by Leicestershire County Council is in a hangar at Newark Air Museum.
They also have an Auster AOP9 hung from the roof at Snibston Discovery Park (an old coal mine), a civvy Auster J1N hung from the roof at a museum in Loughborough and one or two others in store somewhere
