Thank You David. This is a very nice aircraft.
Any chance a paintkit is available? I'd enjoy doing a few repaints
Thanks for the H/U! Another nice one from David and CBF.
Brent aka "dogknot"
Thanks folks - great set of screenies there - shows her off well
Worth mentioning, this is modelled on the actual aircraft as she is today and, being a Terrier 2, doesn't have a sparkling performance and is also somewhat tail-heavy. BTW - it's for FS9 so any 'funnies' seen in FSX are to be expected (especially as I don't run FSX).
Built by our Auster team - photos, information etc - Martin T6flyer, F.D.E. - Brian Horsey, and yours truly.
Cheers
Dave M(oly)
Thanks to Martin and Brian for your added efforts to make the Auster Terrier II a reality for us in the simulator. And as for your modeling for FS2004 only, I LIKE IT!! LOL, oopsOriginally Posted by molyned
What might the next project be?

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.
This aircraft is released as Freeware.

I won't get them all done at once, I have to load them up and grab a screenie to upload with them, at least so far.

Thanks for all your efforts Jamie. Highly appreciated.
Cheers,

It's a pleasure Huub, the least I can do for all the years I've loitered around here. Anyway, anything to help my old pal Drew.

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.

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.

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:

Awesome work, Jamie.
You have done such a good job, I almost feel that I should download them again!
Robin

A cunning plan well executed, great stuff gents!
Many thanks Moly and Dave for models and permissions, and Robin and Jamie for the time and effort...Jamie love that first pic of the prototype Auster over an RAF base...Airfix boxtop anyone?
Cheers
Shessi
Something like this?
When this model arrived I had already switched to repairing and riding motorcycles....
For me the airfix Auster was the yellow one int he plastic bag from post #19
Ah! memories.
I had the pleasure of flying in G-AMMS a few (10 !) years ago at Eggesford farm airstrip including some 'hands-on' experience .
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

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.

The above model also includes the T.7 as described in the text and the Antarctic variant. Rather nice if I don't say so.

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 1971.

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.
