More from Popham last weekend. The venerable Auster is very popular now. This is the J/1 Autocrat, the first real civil Auster produced in 1946.


A nice Auster 6. This one served with the RAF, not the Army like so many of its type.


The Beagle Auster Terrier, rehashed civil version of the Army AOP 6. First aircraft produced under the Beagle name. They sold for just under

Great photos there Doug. I really wish airports in the US would have those sort of fly-ins.

I was thinking the same thing James!!

 Great shots, Doug!!

Nice Austers there Doug but I've got no idea on the ID of the mystery two

Actually got a bit of a soft spot for Austers, very nice little aircraft, great shots Doug.

These two look familiar but fooled me. I think they must have undergone a change of name. I've not seen it before. Anyone?

Mmm, did you think they were a pair of old Cap 10s? A pair of Piel Emeraudes?

No. 6....

Don't you just love it when you can fly into your local Petrol Station and fill up with a few gallons of BP......!

LOL... ...!

Lovely Austers, Doug. Brings back memories...Rags...Tubes...Gipsy's....oil stains.... ...!

My grandad worked on Austers in the RAF at Yeadon.

I'm with Charlie on this one.......I noticed the rudder and fin and it's a tad different from the Cap-10 as I remember it, so my guess would be the Emmeraude too...........

Both you & Charlie are on the right track. The type has been known as the Piel CP-328 Super Emeraude & also the CAP Aviation 301S. The manufacturer is now listed as BINDER-AVIATIK GMBH & the two examples in my photos are registered as the CP301S SMARAGD, whatever that might mean.*

Shot #4 is a Druine D.62B

Great shots Doug, More!

there are still airports in the US that have flyins like that, you just have to look a little for them

Should have got that Condor too,......the back end is very similar to the Turbulent........
