It can only be Spanhoe Lodge as that`s where the Desford has been on restoration, now looking super, well done Carl and team , can`t wait for it`s first flight and see it on the circuit.

Lovely, now if only someone were to organise an event to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Auster!

Brilliant picture of the Desford, Are you happy for me to post this on a Southampton forum where we were discussing this just a week or so ago.

Watch this space - I am told 100 Austers are planned for Middle Wallop next April!

Sounds like you know more than we do!

Very long time since I've seen the Desford, probably late sixties/early seventies.

Re: Austers and friends
Many thanks for the comments, it is indeed Spanhoe - the airfield holds a small annual fly-in for Auster Club members. I was invited as a member of the Auster Club as we (Threshold.aero) are organising the aforementioned Auster 80th event due to be held at Middle Wallop next April.
I understand the RS.4 Bobsleigh last appeared on public display in 1978/79 as part of the Strathallan Collection. The aircraft is, I understand, ready but was awaiting the necessary paperwork at the end of August.
Thanks,
Martin
