OK, well this probably only of great interest and excitement to me, because my first ever ride in an aeroplane was in an Auster from Lands End (or St Just if your prefer) to St Mary's and back. My dad's cousin Chris Treadwell was the pilot I think (if you read this Chris, please drop me an email) and my dad was the other pax. I was five and it was the summer of 1969!

I have to say that was my only ride in an Auster, but if anybody's offering!!!

I think Viv Bellamy was i/c Lands End in those days. The only other recollections I have of the day was a Volmer VJ-22 being built in the hangar (yes, I found out what it was a few years later!) and of the BEA S-61N at St Marys. Gosh, 34 years ago...
