Arrived at Southend the previous day, 14th June 1969, on delivery to the Rochford Hundred Flying Group, to whom it was registered 4th July 1969. It replaced their earlier Auster 5D G-ANHX and was operated by that group until it was written off in a non-fatal crash in the Jura Mountains above Chézery, France on 10th August 1972 while en route from Geneva to Macon, with the three occupants sustaining only minor injuries. It was cancelled from the UK Register as 'destroyed' on 3rd October 1972. This photo is copyright © Mike Cain, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
