1. Title: "Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar - G-ARUG: A Classic Aviation Icon at Portsmouth Airport in 1963" 2. In this photograph, the Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar with the registration number G-ARUG (msn 3272) is seen gracefully parked at Portsmouth Airport in 1963. The Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar, a British-designed and manufactured aircraft, was a versatile and popular model during the 1950s and 60s, known for its distinctive design and exceptional performance. 3. The Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar was a development of the successful Auster J-5 series, which was initially designed for agricultural use but soon gained popularity as a general aviation aircraft. The "Cirrus Autocar" moniker was added due to its large cargo compartment, which could be easily converted for passenger use. 4. The aircraft in this image, G-ARUG, was manufactured in 1963 and is seen in its pristine condition at Portsmouth Airport. The Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar's sleek lines, large windows, and open cockpit design exude an air of elegance and adventure. The aircraft's wings are adorned with the distinctive Auster logo, adding to its distinctive appearance. 5. The Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar was powered by a 150 horsepower Lycoming O-360 engine, which provided impressive performance and fuel efficiency for its time. Its fixed tricycle landing gear and tailwheel steering made it a joy to fly and maneuver on the ground. 6. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar was still a relatively new and innovative aircraft. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the enduring appeal of classic aircraft designs. Today, the Auster J-5G Cirrus Autocar remains a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and collectors, and G-ARUG is a testament to the timeless beauty and charm of this iconic aircraft.
