Auster JN1. Work in Progress

I thought this might be of interest, it is odd in format as I have copied and pasted from my other work blog https://artinengineeringco.blogspot.com/

She is currently in her "Hanger" (Shed) in my garden on the UK south coast.

 The Auster is partially restored, but still much airframe work to do. She remains in the garden hanger (long shed) but we will have a sort out before winter ready for some more work. Because of this I have presented an online photo for you to see this aeroplane in her heyday and a view from a year or so ago from my kitchen window, "X-ray Uniform" basking in the sunshine. 

I do not own this photo, I have borrowed it from https://www.na3t.org/air/photo/AB00302 Thank you to NA3T

Latest update, she has a head!

Bournemouth Aviation Museum.

Saucy Sal, had faded, bleached and even axed by trainee fire crew, she had almost disappeared, here I am slowly bringing her sympathetically back to life. Where there is original paint, I have tried to blend my new paint into the old, in respect for the original artist and the aircrafts long and eventful history.

Original Art, This Picture from Thunder and Lighting website, thank you.
