Регистрационный номер: D-EGOP Also in Argentina is Klemm L25 D-EGOP. Why was it in Rosario about 1937? Demonstration? Tour? Sale?

Регистрационный номер: G-AIZV Auster J/1N Alpha G-AIZV in foreign parts, possibly in the Sudan before taking up its new marks as ST-ABP.
Every detail of the photograph has been identified thanks to Leslie A. Kimm. It was taken in October 1952 at Nevers, France, when the Auster was still a J/1 and owned by the Herts & Essex Aero Club. On the left is the airfield manager Monsieur Bruno, on the right Harry A.Smith who was part of a rescue mission from Broxbourne which involved 'IZV and a Gemini flying spares and engineers to Nevers where Messenger G-AISL had suffered tailwheel oleo collapse and rear fuselage damage. The motor cycle was an Armor Alcium of about 350cc from around 1920, regd 607-Q58, and Harry was a vintage motorbike enthusiast, hence the photo. On the left is the open cover of the petrol storage tank with lever to operate the manual pump.Самолёты на фотографии: Auster J/1 - J/5 - Великобритания - 1945

This close-up of the transmission on BuA.4021, c/n 5, shows that the small lever described on p.89/56 as a clutch is in fact the rotor brake.
