Auster G-AGXT
Wow, I thought I recognized that registration. I flew dual in G-AGXT at Denham in April 1964 when it was operated by The London School of Flying. I had gained my PPL two years earlier thanks to an Air Training Corps Flying Scholarship with the LSF at Elstree, flying Chipmunks. In 1964, when I tried to keep my PPL going, the Chipmunk cost £6.15s.0d per hour and the Auster was "only" £5.5s.0d so I gave the Auster a try instead.
I had never heard of its history before! I see that the aircraft was written off in June 1969 after hitting a hedge after engine failure.
My regards to you KING6024, and thanks for starting the thread.
