Auster J1B Aiglet ZK-AYU

 The Auster J1B Aiglet ZK-AYU c/n 2730 was the 44th Auster to join our civil register.

 I am sure you are all aware of this fact. So I have no need to list the previous 43.

ZK-AYU was registered to the New Zealand agents British Aircraft Ltd on 09-05-1952.

Its history has been covered in several previous blog posts. So, drill your way down through these posts  HERE. 

Charlie Draper of Darfield sold the Auster to Arthur Ruddenklau - also of Darfield - from 02-09-2022 and it was captured below at Ashburton recently by Aaron Murphy.
