VH-KSH Auster J/5 Adventurer
(c/n 2805)
This early (1947) import into
Australia was still on the register into the new millennium, registered
to Gregory Shaw
of Esperance, WA. By 2007, however, its CofA
appears to have
lapsed.
Geoff Goodall took
the shot above at Swan Hill, Victoria in March 1965 and also the one
immed-
iately below at
below at Shepparton two years later, where it had
been treated to an
over-all white
scheme. I
recently (March 2013) heard from Ross Stenhouse who has now acquired
-KSH and
given it to his
son as a restoration project, so maybe we will see it flying again at
some time in the
future.
It is currently being stored at Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield in
Queensland. Ross provides
the photo at
the foot of the page, which was possibly taken before Geof'f's upper
one.
