AB why the

against the record breaking (for NW?)14 Austers? You know you like them really..... you will eventually get the ride I promised you in my Auster honest!!
DubTrub c'mon, Austers are lovely little things

they probably trained more pilots in the Uk post-war than any other aircraft until the ubiquitous C150/C152/PA-28's came along. Ask one of the Auster drivers for a ride, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Pity I can't make it 15 cos I'm out East

Anyway, looks like the makings of a great day out, barely a nosedragger in sight
PS Is it a Nord 3400
AB , rather than a Mord?
