ZK-ATO Auster
J/1B Aiglet
(c/n 2640)
This
aircraft was imported in 1949 and is still active. The upper
image is by James D. Dyson (via
the David Molesworth
collection) circa 1953, whilst my lower shot shows it soon after it
arrived,
whilst it was and on
the strength of the Gisborne Aero Club. It is now all
dolled up as a pseudo
warbird (why?).
As Bill O'Reilly would say....."that's ridiculous!". See
