All New Name That Aircraft - July 2009

[brianw999]

Only 24 built. 22 to an Air Force. 6 of those could have had an ASW role possibly, but not in a direct attack role.
Failed dismally in its first intended role.

C295 ?? Nah, but it has an ASW look about it.

[brianw999]

Here's some more....

[brianw999]

Not US. European.

[ErwinS]

First though was, Northrop YA-9 Avenger but that's wrong....

US Built?

[brianw999]

No-one else ? OK then...one I've had in mind for a while now. A bit more modern than the Auster....

[darrenvox]

[brianw999]

...and here she is...

[guamainiac]

That is the first time I have seen a twin tail wheel. There were two Auster Avis Ambulance built but the design abandoned.

I caught your reference to it but my mind kept dismissing it. Good un'

[brianw999]

Auster B4 ? - see you at Popham Sunday I hope

That's the one. Initially developed for possible cargo use but converted for air ambulance use.
......and yes, Popham on Sunday.

[paulc]

Auster B4 ? - see you at Popham Sunday I hope

[guamainiac]

Auster Avis ??

[brianw999]

Darrenvox..... Not an Autocrat.

Guamaniac.... You've said what it has.

All you guys need to do is use three search words in Google and it'll be one of the first half dozen or so results.

Auster Air are the first two words.
