VH-BYN  Auster  V                                                                     (c/n  996)

                                 

                           
         This shot by David Johnston taken at Emerald, Queensland in June 1962 is, I think, better than the
                                     one below in the hangar at Rockhampton sans cowling, albeit it that above image is behind a chain
                                     link fence.
   Built as an Army Co-Op machine in 1944, this Auster was previously MT361. It came
                                     to grief in an accident on 3 May 1967, although I have no details.
