                                      This aircraft, ex-RAF Taylorcraft Auster AOP 5 TW498 had been civilianized in the UK as
                                      G-AMFT in October of 1950.   It arrived in Australia in November of that year and assumed
                                      the identity seen above.  Surprisingly, it retained its military glasshouse.  This Auster was later
                                      converted to a Mark 5D, and is still extant as such, registered to an owner in Victoria.
