Now that is a sexy plane… for Christmas I would like……

As it has been pointed out, if it is your aircraft it is upto you what colour you paint it. But I do wonder that someone who cares so much for that aircraft to buy it and spend a lot of money restoring it, you would have expected them to care about that aircraft, be passionate about it and at the least check that it was the right colour.

As long as it is preserved I don’t mind though, as has been pointed out the Americans did a better job than us.

109 seems to have nosed over and squished the nose, but at least they have taken out all that metal blocking your vision.

Have to give them credit…. it is the funniest thing I have read today.

Oh I am sure they do, as I said I have never flown one, however you didn’t see the size of the guys that he had with him.

Map, what’s a map????

Map… the object used to hit me round the head when I get lost.

David, I haven’t flown an Auster but have a friend who has and he got scared in it, having said that we usually fly a Super Cub.

I have nothing against Austers they look a nice little plane but I like to make sure I can get off thr runway without sweating.

There is plenty of power in an Auster… as long as there is only one of you in it downhill, with 4 knots straight down the strip.

Never flown one but heard the trim was really weird.
