Remarks: An arm-pit view of John Thorogood’s Workmaster. Some Austers look like aeronautical maiden aunts - this version, with its big engine and clod-hopping low-pressure tyres, looks as though it could have been in the SAS…
Remarks: Surely the most stylish version of the ubiquitous Cherokee – very dashing in its wheel spats (although they do make servicing the brakes such a faff). This one (registered to Davison Plant Hire of Wolverhampton) is seen here in a sales- brochuresque pose against the un-naturally perfect landscape eastwards from Compton Abbas.
Remarks: Ronald Packman’s 1942 Morris Motors-built Tiger looking a little dusty and tired alongside a rather smaller SE5a in one of the Compton hangars.
Remarks: Owned by the Chase Flying Group of Fordingbridge and seen here hangared at Compton alongside one of the resident Yak display team. The prop blade tip on the right of the picture is from Yak 52 G-LENA, which was destroyed in a fatal crash later the same month.
