Auster

When BHL took over Fisons Airwork they aquired an Auster G-APOA that Fisons had bought new in 1958. BHL hung on to G-APOA until it was blown over & one wing badly damaged in the hurricane of 1987. Amongst other things it was used by the Flight Training School & for ferrying spares about.

Seen below in 1959, at Biggin Hill, with Fison Airwork Limited clearly on the engine cowl:


And in 1981 at Cranfield:


Sadly it crashed in 1993 killing both occupants.
