The Auster I would love to fly is the AOP9 with the Bombadier engine. A few ex AAC drivers have told me it was great fun with a climb like a homesick angel unless taken to somewhere hot like Aden. Tried chatting up a few people down at Wallop to try and get my hands on theirs but no joy.
I've heard the CAA didn't allow the 9 on the civvie register because of some handling quirks. Anyone confirm this?
Nice to hear MTM is still flying.
