The Auster A.O.P. 6 is a light observation aircraft that was developed from a line of similar machines by the Taylorcraft/Auster company. It was an easily maintained aircraft that could operate from short improvised landing strips in forward battle areas. The Canadian government purchased 34 Auster 6s in 1948. They continued in service until 1958 when their role was taken over by helicopters. The museum Auster was taken on strength by the RCAF in 1948. In 1957, the Auster was sold for civilian use, and after passing through the hands of several Canadian owners, was purchased by the Canadian War Museum in 1965. This aircraft was restored by No. 6 Repair Depot, RCAF
