Auster Aircraft Photo Collections
The County Flying Club moved to Rearsby in 1938 and created an aerodrome on land owned by Sir William Lindsay Everard. Rearsby airfield soon became the home of the Taylorcraft aircraft factory, which began light aircraft manufacture in 1939. The basic aircraft design was modified to become the British Army A.O.P. (Air Observation Post), the model being named the Auster. Following W.W.II, Taylorcraft Aeroplanes (England) Ltd changed its name to The Auster Aircraft Company Ltd. The aircraft was known as 'The All Steel Aeroplane". After initial success with the Autocrat and other models including the Aiglet and Autocar, post war civil aircraft sales slowed down, particularly as there were many ex-military surplus aircraft available. In the early to mid-1960s Beagle Aircraft built the Beagle B206 twin engined executive aircraft here.
