If everyone is really lucky you might see it at Classic Fighters.

Doesn't Gerald Grocott have one as well in Hawkes Bay?....or has that one gone as well?

Bit embarrassing! ;D Yes its a lovely biplane alright, hope to see her up close one day!
	The Auster should be recognised for what it is: a gentleman's aerial touring carriage and a nice aeroplane.

Note the bottle catching the oil so there was no stain on the island!

I must visit Lord Howe Island - such a beautiful looking place.
