This Auster was registered new on 4 October 1957. On 20 December 1976 it was de-registered as withdrawn from use. Confusingly, another Auster (a J5B Autocar) took up the registration as VH-KCW(2) in 1992. That aircraft was re-registered a year later as VH-KGW when this one, VH-KCW(1), returned to the Register on 14 December 1993! It was fresh out of another restoration when photographed here.
