Auster Antarctic aircraft

- Author(s) / Creator(s)

This Auster T7 was modified for the 1956 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Dr. Vivian Fuchs. In addition to being painted bright orange to make it more visible in the snow and ice, it was modified so that it could be fitted with skis or floats, had larger tail surfaces and additional radio equipment. This is in the RAF Cosford Museum in England.
