| Remarks: Attending the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia’s Auster Rally at Broken Hill was Graeme Smith’s newly-restored Auster J.5F Aiglet Trainer VH-BYF(2). The aircraft made its first flight following a decade-long restoration to immaculate condition only a week before the event. It has an interesting pedigree, being a composite of the fuselage of the former VH-BYE and the wings of VH-SAE, which was originally registered VH-BYF(1) in 1953! |
