Flight with Trevor! 1946 Auster from Coventry to Staverton 

WE569. How wonderful to see her again. I flew her for many years in the eighties and nineties with the Military Auster Flight. I hope you have as much fun with her as I did. She was restored by Ross Skingley who regularly flew her with MAF. Many long nights at Bassingbourn restoring the Mk 7 rear canopy and re-painting her. Glider towing too.

Bloody marvellous chaps and I loved the Auster landing!!??

Great video... landing commentary sounds familiar :)

Excellent. My first flight, in the early 70s, was in an Auster doing glider tows. Sadly, I never thought to log it.

Superb Video. Great fun. Thanks Chaps :)

Splendid show chaps! They just don't make films like that anymore.

Good show old bean!

Still love this. Particularly the landing! Hope you don't mind me adding it to the LAA archive.

Used Austers for glider towing at Meir, Staffordshire and Keevil, Wiltshire in the 1970's. Great aircraft, only surpassed by the iconic Tiger Moth.

“Talking to someone in a tower somewhere”... I’ll have you know Coventry is home to a fine fleet of AFISOs!

"Note the missing dial." Yes but - rather more captivating was Lt. Generator Warning shining bright most of the flight, apparently. Was that SOP during the war? ;)

Spiffing! It was an awfully good plane for £500. I actually own a part of the old Auster factory.......about 50 yards of corrugated iron from a hangar makes up my garden fence!

Wizard show chaps. Managed to avoid the Ack Ack over GCHQ. Smoke me a kipper for Breakfast Ginger...

Jesus, that was more a controlled crash. Great vid though.
