In the early fifties I used to ride from Barnstaple to Chivenor after Sunday School and watch the aircraft from the flying club there. Eventually, some kind chap walked over and said"Want to fly, son?" and off we went in a four seat, (2+2 anyway,) Auster. I`ve always loved Austers. They just look right.
I guess that was about `52 or `53. it was just after the Lynmouth floods anyway.
I seem to recall that they used to deliver daily papers to Lundy Island, presumably in the Auster, I have no idea what other aircraft they had.
