Triple delight....

And NO, not my malt.

I have just had a browse over at the Pond and come across these three delights.

Auster Agricola by that wizard David Molyneaux and the usual suspects.

De Havilland DH-50 and De Havilland DH-50J by Julian Higgs as test aircraft.


Many thanks to all of you.

Thanks Graham :)
BTW - that DH-50 is very much W.I.P. and I know that it's only been posted for comments with that very much in mind.
Our Agricola is, yes, yet another Auster :doh: , but very different in looks being a crop-duster - sprayer, At least it had something in common with many later Auster builds, i.e. only a few were sold. :(
Cheers

Yes Dave.

I appreciate the DH50 is WIP, but I have to say that, after a quick flight, it handled very well and flew "hands off" as steady as a rock.

I'm going to enjoy the Agricola if for nothing else, if I'm told to go around, the tower will vanish in a murky haze. :agree: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the comments.
Yes the DH-50 is still very much WIP, and i did have some issues with the flight Charecteristics...there was a small stall on take off but i've hopefully cured that now.
Thanks for the comments they all help
