VH-ACD  Auster J/2 Arrow  (c/n  2390)


                           


                                  I always thought the J/2 was the best looking of the Austers - probably because of its Continental
                                  C-75-12 engine, which made it look more like its Taylorcraft ancestors than the Blackburn Cirrus
                                  powered Austers.   It was a nice aircraft to fly, also.   The J/2s didn't sell well, since they were
                                  only two seaters.    VH-ACD was formerly G-AJPT and came to Australia in 1952.  This was
                                  at Mascot in 1954.   Somewhere along the way it was convertted to a J/2C "Super Arrow".
