Beaver and Auster

A Taylorcraft Auster Mk 9 and a De Havilland Beaver AL Mk 1 flying in formation with the Army Air Corps Historic Flight

The Taylorcraft Auster AOP Mk 9, XR 244, was built in 1961 and was used to train pilots in fixed-wing flying in the RAF Air Observation Post (AOP) Squadron.
It was handed over to to the Historic Aircraft Flight Trust in 2015.

The De Havilland Beaver AL Mk 1, also flying with the Army Air Corps Historic Flight, is single-engined high-wing short takeoff and landing aircraft developed
and manufactured by de Havilland Canada. Operated primarily as a bush plane and used in a variety of utility roles including cargo and passenger hauling,
crop dusting and civil aviation duties. Widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft and still in such service. One of the more iconic aircraft
produced by Canada, it is often equipped with floats for ampohibious applications.
