Looks like the CAA have found an organisation to look after teh Austers then. This is the reply I got from them yesterday:
The following is the current status of the Auster in airworthiness terms as advised by our certifications department. Whilst it is recognised that it may be a disappointment to you, the issue is that of the availability of a person or persons willing to undertake the minimum responsibilities to support ongoing C of A status. At present that appears to be the case and so in accordance with the ANON, these aircraft remain eligible.
Croqueteer you should have got an Autocrat. No faster but only 4 gph and negligable oil burn
