VH-ALS  Auster IIIF                        (c/n  293)

                                 

                                       This 1943 Auster was built for the RAF as MZ168.  In 1946 it was seconded to the RAAF as
                                       A11-55, but not civilianized until 1959 as VH-ALS.   Geoff Goodall caught it at the entrance to
                                       an Albury, NSW hangar in January of 1964.    It is still current and registered to an owner in
                                       Kempsey, NSW.     Greg Banfield's  photo of it (below), was taken at Camden, NSW in May
                                       1970 when it was operated by the RAAF Richmond Gliding Club.
