VH-API  (1)   Auster J/5G Cirrus Autocar                           (c/n  3160)

                                 

                                    One if those "better than nothing" images. This Auster was delivered to Guinea Airways in 1955,
                                    and was used for charter work and also for dropping poison bait for dingo eradication.  It is seen
                                    here at West Beach, circa 1957 shortly before (or after) it was sold by the airline to Allan Venning
                                    of Kimba, S.A. and  re-registered VH-KEV.   Later in life it was re-engined and became a J/5B.
