We currently have 73 Austers booked in for this fly-in at the Army Air Corps Airfield at Middle Wallop, Hampshire, UK. As well as the 73 booked to arrive, there are three Austers in the Museum of Army Flying and several others elsewhere on site. The largest number of Austers at a fly-in previous to this is believed to be about 46, so this should be the largest Auster fly-in ever held Upcoming Events Tue, 09 Jun 2009 09:24:32 GMT http://lbirds.forumotion.com/upcoming-events-f14/middle-wallop-21-june-uk-t74.htm#269 http://lbirds.forumotion.com/upcoming-events-f14/middle-wallop-21-june-uk-t74.htm http://lbirds.forumotion.com/all-other-liaison-related-aircraft-f4/auster-v-s-at-leicester-6-7-june-t72.htm Rob This past weekend, the Auster Club had its Annual General Meeting and fly-in. Despite the poor weather, we had a fairly good turn out of Austers - we had an Auster IV and V fly-in, with two civilianised V's in the hangar. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the IV but did of the V that flew in. Both the IV and V were in wartime camouflage markings. The V won the award for best aircraft, and had flown eight and a half hours from Denmark to be with us Danish Auster V, built in 1943 ...

The current setup is different than our J model, and their are no signs it ever had the metal loops to attach the belts used for seatbacks in the later models.
