There 'may' also be a chanceof having the 0200 machine on a pfa permit.
There is a conversion out there often called a 'kingsland' auster or somewthing like that. if you check with g0info it might help.

I was told it was developed by some club 'rolls royce ?' and they made up drawings for the cowling and engine frame. Last i looked there were 2 flying and they were on a permit ?

I dont know where the airframes came from or how it would work.

There is another way to get on a pfa permit. That would be to finish off some of the airframes (the part with the serial # to say if its a plane or not) that were not finished and had no serial #'s when auster went bust.
The 'crofton' auster is one of these, but that a long way of doing things.

I did know of 2 such frames, one a D6 the other i cant remember. but the person who had them is hard to even talk to and never really sells anything, or flies it for that matter. you must know who i mean.
