Austers & a few others

Postby Hagar » Sat Apr 14, 2007 7:02 pm

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.

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

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

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?

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
