EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of quiet introspection and hard work that is often a part of general aviation. The Auster J-5Q Alpine, registered G-APCB (msn 3204), is seen undergoing repairs to its tailskid in the late 1980s or early 1990s. The Auster J-5Q Alpine is a popular light aircraft, known for its versatility and ability to operate from short, unimproved strips. In this image, we see the plane grounded, its wings folded and covered, as the technician focuses on the intricacies of the tailskid mechanism. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and open sky, reminding us of the freedom and adventure that comes with flying. The Auster J-5Q Alpine, with its distinctive silhouette and bright orange livery, stands out against the lush green landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of aviation maintenance, where dedication, skill, and attention to detail are essential for ensuring the safety and continued operation of these magnificent machines.
