The last 'true' Auster, the Beagle Terrier was a civil conversion from the military Auster AOP.6. Only 45 Terrier 2s were built, 64 Terriers in all, so this is a fairly rare aircraft. Seen here coming back from a jolly at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally, owned by the President.

The Aiglet Trainer is an aerobatic version of the Auster with shorter wings. This one came to Australia in June 1954, being the former G-AMOV. After spending 15 years mainly in outback Queensland, it was withdrawn from service in 1969. Following restoration it was re-registered on 14 March 1988. Based in Ballarat, it's seen here shutting down on arrival at the Antique Aeroplane Association's Auster Rally.

'Dorothy May' at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally. Imported in 1953, this aircraft was somewhat unusual for an Aussie Auster in not being new - it was the former G-AIBL. It served for a time in the 1960s with the Illawarra Flying School in NSW. Based at Tyabb during the '90s, it is now resident in SA.

The Adventurer was basically a four-seat Autocrat developed for Australia and New Zealand, using war-surplus Australian-production Gipsy Majors. This one was manufactured in 1950 and shipped to Australia engineless where Kingsford Smith Aviation Service, Sydney, fitted the engine. It was first registered on 31 July 1951. It's seen here at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.

Originally built as an Auster AOP V and allocated RAF serial MT108, this aircraft was civilianised post-war as G-ANGX. In November 1954 it was exported to Australia, becoming VH-AZJ. In 1959 it was re-registered as VH-DDW, and in 1960 became VH-BHA. It is actually the second Auster to carry that registration. Currently based in South Australia and seen here taking off at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.

This very early Citabria was built in 1967, but was only registered in Australia on 7 November 1984. It's seen here arriving at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.

It's pretty good when you can park a visiting Aerobat in the back yard, as my friends Colin and Jenny can! This 1970-model was first registered in Australia on 4 January 1972 and is currently based at Albury. It's the fourth aircraft to carry this rego, the others being a Skylane, a Skywagon and a Pawnee, not to mention a C-47 during the War that was allocated the radio callsign VHCDW.

This Archer was originally built as a J.2 Arrow and registered G-AIGW on 22 October 1946. Shipped to Australia in May 1947, it became VH-BDE. The Australian Auster agents Kingsford Smith Aviation Service converted this aircraft to J.4 Archer standard in April 1957 and re-registered it VH-KFB the following year. It was substantially damaged at Canberra in October 1958 and was laid up for some time. Following rebuild it became VH-CRR in September 1961.

The Register records this aircraft has having been first registered on 3 September 1959, however Eddie Coates has a photo (and memories) of it when it was based in Launceston, Tas, in the early 50s. In any case, it's now based in NSW and still looking very nice! Photographed here at the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Auster Rally.

This is the first, and so far only, Mk II version of the Sprite, built by Doug Pardew. The Mk I aircraft had a lovely boomerang-shaped wing but was otherwise similar.
