ZK-AXP Auster
5
(c/n 1586)
This Jim
Dyson shot (via David Molesworth) was probably taken in the late1950s
whilst the
aircraft was still on the
strength of the Auckland Aero Club.. It does show the
Auster's "green-
house" to good
advantage. This aircraft was built as Taylorcraft Auster
AOP Mk 5 TJ567 for
the RAF Army Cooperation
group. It was civilianized in 1948 as G-AKPJ.
It is currently in
store at Warkworth awaiting
a complete restoration.
