This 1947 Auster Arrow spent most of it's time in Africa, arriving in Rhodesia in the 50s. After an accident, the aircraft was bought by "Mike" Spence and rebuilt. Sold when the family moved to South Africa in 1964, the Auster was spotted in an ad in damaged condition. Buying again bought in 1978, it was rebuilt and registered it ZS-VMV. The family started emigrating to the USA in 2012 starting with the grandsons with the Auster imported in 2016 and registered N322MV.
