The Aberdeen Auster article, which featured in the February issue of Light Aviation has now been added to the Articles and Events section of the site.
For those who haven’t seen it and might wish to take a look, you can read it here.
There’s a slightly different selection of pictures to those that accompanied the article in the LAA magazine. Hope you enjoy it.
In the meantime, we’re still waiting for the Alternator mod’ to get sorted, whilst the strip remains too wet to fly from and I’m struggling to remember what it is like to fly the thing! Hopefully we’ll be up and running again soon and I’ll get some actual aviating in…….
The Auster Diaries 
Great article – got me enthused. Though I suspect 100hp works out better in a cold Scotland than a > 30˚C day here!
Thanks! And yeah – all the Austers exported to Australia had to have the 145 HP Gipsy Major engines for that reason! The 90 HP Blackburn engine J2 and J4 just didn’t cut it! 😄
Good article again. Did you , (or another syndicate member) ,get JT in the air on Sunday 3rd March ? Thought I heard & then saw something very like at mid- day East to West at Findhorn, Moray Coast . Iain & I have wanted to do that trip for a while, & the weather on the coast at least would have been pretty much idyllic.
Thanks Gordon – very kind. Frustratingly JT is still unserviceable while we wait to get the alternator mod’ done so it wouldn’t have been the Auster you saw. Been great weather too! I haven’t flown the Auster since November!
