Haven’t posted in a while but here’s a job that has been and gone.
This AUSTER 5J1 was long out of permit and also in need of some TLC, this included jobs like fitting new hardware and lift struts being stripped, inspected and re painted etc.
Its Cirrus Minor II engine also had some running issues that needed rectifying.

After the permit work was completed and the engine running like a sewing machine again it returned back to popham. 👍🏼

30 years ago we completed the total restoration of G-AYCK.
Recently it came back for a permit renewal, some corrosion work including grit blasting and re paint of the struts, gear and wing brackets. Hardware re plated and tie rods replaced due to life expiry.
After 30 years the paint had started to fade… so we gave the whole a/c a cut and polish, which has transformed its appearance!
Looks as good as it did 30 years ago.
