Auster AOP.6 The Auster AOP.6 was a post-war development of the wartime Lycoming-engined AOP.5 (AOP standing for Air Observation Post, outlining its role as an artillery observation platform). This example - seen at a fly-in - is finished as an aircraft of the RCAF, the Royal Canadian Air Force. The all-over yellow scheme was intended to make it stand out against a snowy landscape, in the event of forced landing. The cartoon character painted on the nose (an example of 'nose art') is that of the dastardly 'Captain A.R.P. Reilly-Ffoull' of Arentwee Hall, from the British cartoon strip, 'Just Jake', drawn by Bernard Graddon and published in the Daily Mirror from 1938 to 1952. -Ffoull
