VQ-CAA  Auster J/5 Adventurer                                                     (c/n  2903)

                            

                                 This Auster was the first aircraft registered in Cyprus, although of course there were many machines
                                 operating out of the island before this with G- registrations.  Formerly G-AMPU it was re-registered
                                 VQ-CAA in June of 1952.  It was repatriated back to the U.K. six years later, reverting to G-AMPU. 
                                 As such it was written off in a refueling accident at Kosti in the Sudan on New Year's Day 1961.
