This vintage print captures the Auster J-1 Autocrat ZK-AWT in all its glory, as it sits proudly on the tarmac at Christchurch, New Zealand in 1952. This particular aircraft, with serial number 2635 and formerly registered as G-AJUX, belonged to Canterbury Aircraft and was a true marvel of aviation engineering.
The Auster J-1 Autocrat was a popular choice for private pilots and flying enthusiasts during the mid-20th century, known for its reliability and versatility. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a joy to fly, whether for leisurely sightseeing flights or more adventurous aerial excursions.
In this image, we see the Auster J-1 Autocrat ZK-AWT gleaming in the sunlight, ready to take to the skies once again. The backdrop of Christchurch adds an extra layer of charm to the scene, showcasing both the beauty of the aircraft and the picturesque surroundings of New Zealand's South Island.

The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has truly captured the essence of this golden age of air travel with their stunning photograph - a timeless tribute to an iconic aircraft that continues to inspire awe and admiration even today.
