Hi All,

I was looking up info on Auster AOP's and stumbled across this site and thought some of you might be interested. Malaya Wrecks Research Group.

Brian....

Yes...I'll say,

Very interesting

Yes, thankyou for that....most interesting....
- I am particuarly interested in the service of De Havilland Hornets in Malaya, and haven't found much about that so far....perhaps someone may know where I can learn more on the subject ?....

There are several contact links for people that might be able to help you.

Many, many thanks for that , lauriebe, I've only found one other website that touches on Hornets, until now, but you've just given me the 'Jackpot' !...- I find it strange that an aircraft such as the Hornet was, has so little information available and so small a following....

All that I've learned of them indicated they were, at WWII's end, one of the fastest, most manoevrable piston-engined aircraft in the world, and there also appears to be no survivors left....

One hopes that someone of Glyn Powell's calibre [if not himself], may oneday see a re-creation of this superb aircraft, that like the Mosquito, was also essentially made of wood....they were indeed incredibly unique....

Again, many thanks....
