The first Auster

Excellent work! Thanks to all involved. I must admit I wasn't very interested in Austers until I downloaded this one. Now I've gone bonkers and downloaded all the recent FS Austers from Dave & Co. Really love the AOP9!

I always wanted a flight in an Auster from when I was a little lad and when that day did arrive many years ago, I wasnt that impressed. Was virtually like nothing that I'd flown before. But given time and lots of patience and hard work, I now really appreciate the design and all of its many variants and sub-types. It is regarded as something that is a little difficult at times to fly and through these wonderful recreations by Dave and Brian, the Auster as a whole has been superbly replicated and been given the promotion that at times in the past has been forgotten. A few years ago and people would have joked about the design, but it is an important part of our aviation heritage and through actions like this, long may interest in the type continue.

As Leif says this isnt the end of the line, as I know of a number of projects that have been discussed already and not all are in the same vein as what has previously been released. I'm glad that everyone is enjoying these wonderful recreations and hope that this continues in the future.

Best wishes,

Martin

Expect the next one to be released sometime in the next few days!!

Well, here's one I'd like to see.....

(this is a good resource too...)

Must be a contender for one of the uglier examples of British aviation...

I know its been discussed John,
Knowing Dave it will probably appear at the end of the production run along with things like the Agricola,Avis and Atlantic

Well, the operative words are 'production run' so can't guarantee modelling all their scribblings on the back of fag packets

There's definitely one which won't be made - giving you a clue - it begins with 'A'

Cheers

Ah, so I suppose we can't expect to see the long nosed Auster Aardvark powered by a single turboprop????

Disappointing, I guess, but never mind.

Seriously though, thanks for all the efforts, these are superb models.

Oh, my.

That's the great thing about classic British stuff, often the jokes turn out to be real....

By the way David has just published the Plus D -- the first "real" Auster.

In the library at www.classicbritishfiles.com

Look out for Peter Watkins paints for it coming shortly
