Auster Mk5 Alpha from 1958
(last update January 6th 2009)
This site describes my latest project - to restore a classic Auster Mk5 Alpha to its former glory. I bought it partly restored, but a lot of work remains: assembly, some painting, engine and propeller overhaul - and all those small details that take so much time.
The Auster is manufactured 1958 and first registration was in UK as G-APNN. In October 1959 it was imported to Sweden and got the registration SE-CME. This Auster has operated on wheels, skies and floaters. Last flight was in April 1974.
Below is an old photo of an identical Auster:

Parts wanted:
Exhaust system (see picture to the right) for Auster with Lycoming O-290-3 engine. I want a new or used one in excellent condition. Do you have one to sell, or know a company that manufacture new exhaust systems of this type?Contact me by sending a mail to Auster58@gmail.com
Thanks,
Johan
