Anyone ever hear of this company or have any experience with them? Auster Aviation If it's the Auster I'm thinking of, I have several hours of time in the Auster 5J1 we use to tow gliders. Built in 1946. The company (Auster) vanished years ago. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |

I believe the original aircraft were called Taylorcraft Austers. Soon after WW2 The British Taylorcraft company decided to build a more economical version of their Auster Mk V. That led to the Taylorcraft Auster MkV Series J-1 Autocrat* and on the 7 March 1946 they changed their name to Auster Aircraft Ltd. *I had lessons in one of those from April 1954 to September 1955. -- David CL Francis |
