    Auster incoming


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

    Description: The Auster models M - VL522 & N - VL523 were built to a Ministry specification A2/45 calling for an updated A.O.P. aircraft. It was to carry a pilot and observer, camera equipment and armour plating under the crew.
    Other requirements were for it to be extremely manoeuvrable with good low speed handling near the ground and short takeoff & landing characteristics,
    The first prototype, model M, had a 160 h.p. D.H. Gypsy Major 31 engine. After many modifications to the design, it proved to be underpowered, so a second prototype,
    model N appeared fitted with a 240 h.p. D.H.Gypsy Queen 34.
    The handling of the aircraft was very poor and after military trials, no orders were placed so the project was abandoned. The two aircraft went to R.A.F. maintenance units
    and were later disposed of.
    Other than a 3-view drawing produced from the works general arrangement drawing and a few b/w photos and notes, nothing else exists to aid the modeller.
    VL522 is shown here in its silver finish as it appeared at the SBAC show at Farnborough in 1948. VL523 is in its standard Army camouflage paint.

    Auster model b8 agricola for fs9


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: The Auster Agricola was an agricultural aircraft designed and built for applying top dressings and fertilisers; it could also be used as a sprayer. It was made in particular for the New Zealand
    market after a visit and study made by Auster's chief designer concluded there was a particular need for such an aircraft.
    However by the time the aircraft entered production, the market had declined and so only 8 of the aircraft were sold.

    Aiglet Trainer J-5K


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: The company began in 1938 at the Britannia Works, Thurmaston near Leicester, England, as Taylorcraft Aeroplanes (England) Limited, making light observation aircraft designed by the Taylorcraft Aircraft Corporation of America. 1,604 high-wing Taylorcraft Auster monoplanes were built during World War II for the armed forces of the UK and Canada. The name change to Auster occurred on 7 March 1946, when production shifted to Rearsby aerodrome, also in Leicestershire. All designs were evolved from the early Taylorcraft with a sprung skid or tailwheel beneath the fin (except for a low-wing aircraft called the "Agricola" designed for crop-spraying; only a few of these were completed). When the company was merged into Beagle Aircraft in 1960 the high-wing design was developed still further as the Terrier and, with a nosewheel - the Airedale.


    The Auster was extensively used in the British colonies after WWII for a variety of activities such mail delivery, VIP transport, and joy rides at town carnivals. Nearly 4000 were built, many of which are still flying.


    There appear to be many Auster types built but some were just different engine varients - see for example the Aiglet Trainer


    This sim model is based on a particular aircraft - G-AMMS c/n 2745 was built in 1951. It is fitted with a Blackburn Cirrus Major 3 engine and is hence an Aiglet Trainer J-5K . It is owned by Mr Richard Webber and is still flying regularly around the U.K.

    Auster j1n alpha for fs9


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: The prototype J/1N Alpha first flew in 1950 and was followed by several other conversions of Autocrat airframes, but construction soon switched to the use of new airframes. Most sales were made in Australia and New Zealand. The majority of aircraft were exported engineless to Kingsford Smith Aviation Services in Sydney where they were completed and tested before delivery.[5] Many J/1s were converted to J/1N Alpha standard with a higher fin and fitted with a 130 h.p. Gipsy Major engine, as used in the J/1B Aiglet.Copyright:

    Auster AOP.6


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

    Description: The Auster AOP.6 (Auster Model K) was designed as a successor to the Taylorcraft Auster V, it had a strengthened fuselage, increased all-up weight and a 145 hp (108 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major 7 engine. It had a different appearance to the wartime Austers due to the lengthened landing gear struts (due to the larger propeller), and external non-retractable aerofoil flaps.

    An initial production run of 296 were completed for the Royal Air Force in 1949. A second batch was produced from 1952 with a total delivered of around 400. Some aircraft ordered by the Royal Air Force aircraft were diverted to the Belgian Air Force (22) and the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force (2). New aircraft were delivered to Royal Canadian Air Force, South African Air Force, and the Arab Legion Air Force (Jordan).

    A dual-control training version of the AOP.6 was produced, 77 serving as the Auster T.7 (Auster Model Q). These flew alongside the AOP.6 in the AOP squadrons.
    In 1955 two T.7 aircraft were modified for use on the 1956 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, being designated Auster Antarctic (Auster Model C4). The aircraft had extra radio equipment, larger tail surfaces, the ability to be fitted with floats or skis as required and a bright yellow finish to increase visibility against the snow and ice.
    The aircraft was gradually replaced with the Auster AOP.9 from 1955 and surplus aircraft were converted to civilian use, first as the Auster 6A and later as the Beagle A.61 Terrier.

    Auster e3 aop-11 for fs9


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

    Description: Three-seat AOP machine with a 260 hp Continental IO-470-D 6-cylinder horizontally opposed more powerful engine, that raised the maximum speed to 142 mph (228 km/h) and the empty weight to 1,806 lb (816 kg). Apart from the engine, the AOP.11 was almost identical to its predecessor. Early in its career (photo, right), the undercarriage had spats, though these were later removed.[15] Only one, a converted AOP.9 was produced, making its first flight on 18 August 1961 with serial XP254. A year later it was registered to Beagle aircraft, that had taken over Auster in 1960, as G-ASCC where it was known as the Beagle Mk 11, the E.3 or as the A.115. It was sold into private hands in 1971A fully modelled Auster AOP-11 based on an aircraft still flying today here in the U.K.

    Auster j-2 arrow


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: AUSTER J-2 ARROW

    The Auster J/2 Arrow is a 1940s British single-engined two-seat high-wing touring monoplane built by Auster Aircraft Limited at Rearsby, Leicestershire, England.

    The Arrow was designed as a successor to the pre-war Taylorcraft Plus C monoplane. A development aircraft, a side-by-side two-seater first flew in 1946 powered by Lycoming O-145-B3 flat four air-cooled engined.


    Import restrictions on the sale in the United Kingdom (UK) of American-built engines resulted in most of the 44 aircraft completed being exported, mainly to Australia. In later life, examples were re-imported to the UK, where several examples remained active in 2011.

    Auster Beagle Husky


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: The Husky was manufactured by Beagle Auster and was the last of the traditional Auster breed. This aircraft is still flying in the U.K.

    The Beagle Husky (originally, the Auster D.5 and initially designated the Auster J/1Y) was a three-seat British light aircraft built in the 1960s which originated from a Portuguese Air Force requirement for a liaison/training aircraft, a development of the Auster Alpha. It first flew as an Auster design in January 1960, but that company was taken over by Beagle Aircraft in September that year. It was initially available with a 160 hp Lycoming O-320 engine as the Auster D5/160.

    The auster model 'h' glider


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

    Description: Following similar conversions of Taylorcraft TG-6 aircraft in America, the British Taylorcraft Aeroplanes company converted an Auster lll into the model 'H' glider. Sources
    differ here - it seems that a Taylorcraft model D fuselage was converted - maybe then fitted with Mk III wings c/w flaps ?.
    This was intended for instructional duties at Army gliding schools as a primary trainer.
    Whereas previous British training gliders had been specifically designed and built for the job, the model 'H' was an example of a converted powered light aircraft.
    This was achieved by replacing the engine and cowl with a lengthened front containing a seat and controls etc. for a pupil pilot.
    A slightly larger fin was fitted and the undercarriage shortened.
    The prototype was first flown in July 1943 . Although it was painted in trainer glider colours and with a 'P' on the fuselage, no other marking were evident.
    There are no reliable records of any production quantities being built.

    Auster j.1. Autocrat for fs9


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: As the end of the Second World War approached the designers at Taylorcraft decided to develop a tourer version of the robust and reliable Taylorcraft Auster Model J AOP.V observation aircraft series. An Auster 5, registered G-AGOH, was modified to take a 100 hp (75 kW) Blackburn Cirrus II engine for trials. At the same time a prototype aircraft was built designated the Taylorcraft Auster V Series J/1 Autocrat. The long name was not used as the company changed name to Auster Aircraft Limited and the aircraft became known as the Auster J/1 Autocrat.


    The designation J/1 derived from the progenitor Model J, which was the Auster AOP.V
