EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Auster J-5V Autocar, specifically the sole surviving example with the registration number G-APUW (msn 3273), which dates back to the 1960s. The Auster J-5V Autocar is a versatile aircraft, designed primarily for general aviation use, including agriculture, surveying, and passenger transport. The Auster J-5V Autocar is a development of the Auster J-5 series, which was known for its robustness and reliability. This particular model, G-APUW, features a distinctive open cockpit design, with seating for up to five passengers. The aircraft's wings are fabric-covered, and it is powered by a 235 horsepower Lycoming IO-540 engine, which provides ample power for its lightweight structure. Despite its small size, the Auster J-5V Autocar is capable of impressive performance, with a cruising speed of around 120 miles per hour and a range of over 800 miles. The aircraft's short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities make it an ideal choice for operating from unpaved strips and small airfields. The Auster J-5V Autocar's versatility and agility made it a popular choice among private pilots and operators in the 1960s. Today, G-APUW remains the sole surviving example of this iconic aircraft, serving as a reminder of the golden age of general aviation. Its preservation is a testament to the enduring appeal of these classic aircraft and the passion of the aviation enthusiasts who keep them flying.
