ZK-AXF Auster J/1B Aiglet
(c/n 2674)
This is the sister aircraft to ZK-AXE. Since
the A J Jackson collection has another
negative
of it, I will replace this image 'ere long. ZK-AXF is still
airworthy, and a fairly
current
image of it is shown below (taken off a 35mm slide), courtesy of the
Kenneth
Tilley
collection. Date and venue unknown, but late enough for the
cursed use of the
"last
three" in lieu of the full ZK-AXF to be in vogue. Also, by this
time it had been
converted
to J/1Y standard, by replacing the Gipsy Major with a Lycoming and
adding
a dorsal
fin. Quite frankly I feel that this treatment makes the machine
look more like an
Aviat Husky than an
Auster product!
