Photo Comment

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.
