The last of the line......the Auster AOP.11

[Bob Lomas]

In my Army days I flew AOP 4/5/6, after that I flew an L-4 for over twenty years. Now very old and into FS I enjoy recreating some of my former flying days so I thank those who have created the few Austers available, plus the creaters of the L-4, L-18/21 and L-19. The best flying is below the tree tops.

For those interested in the AOP I recommend 'Unarmed into Battle' by H.J. Parham and 'Soldiers in the Air' by Peter Mead.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for your contribution to our protection.
Sounds like you overcame the download problems you had during 2010.
Enjoy your simming.

Hi Bob, I also had the opportunity to fly the Auster during the early seventies when I was a member of a gliding club but only flew as P2. My plan was to complete the Silver 'C' in gliding then do a ten hour conversion onto props before taking the exams but........the cost of flying per hour in those days was £15 per hour and I was only paid around £9 so used to take the Auster when it came in for aerotows up for around 30 minutes keeping my hand in on take-offs and landings (rollers). Great aircraft to fly and thoroughly enjoyed doing three pointed landings. Sadly I never did finish my Silver 'C'.

Regards
Nigel.
