Airdale
As a young Air Cadet I well remember a crop of Airdales appearing at Biggin.
They were supposed to be the British answer to the C172; alas they were merely a disguised Auster with a nosewheel. and a fancy metallic paint job, (and heavy).
There was also the 'go fast' exhaust which added even more weight. (I think it came from a Dove)
It actually looked quite sporty. mainly due to the paint job (which faded quite badly) but of course it was a drag queen and ground gripper, plus slow to boot.
Many years later a rather tired and unloved example was used by the BGA to do Mogas trials so we have something to thank it for.
