With continuing bad weather and a lack of Auster flying, I thought I’d add in a section on Ranald Logan Porteous – probably the world’s most renowned Auster pilot. He is known best for his skilled aerobatic displays in the now famous Aiglet Trainer G-AMMS – thankfully still flying after restoration whilst under Richard Webber’s care.
