The Auster a great aeroplane. Out run a Piper Cub any day. Here is an aircraft that can fly loaded at 45 kts. Usto fly VH-KSP a lot and Super Auto car VH-BYT. Wonderful bush aircraft
Fantastic old footage and a beautiful landing in obvoiusly challenging conditions. Nothing like a taildragger to bring out the best in a pilot! Thankyou for sharing.
Done it many times myself, not as easy as it looks.
As for three pointers, they are preferred because that is the right way to land any tail dragger, the prop clearance on my 1947 was never a problem....
Great to watch a nice skilled landing like this in an Auster, having flown many hours in one myself i appreciate this video clip.

For an Auster landing, that's quite impressive.
Look Mum no bounce!!!
3 pointers are preferred due to the lack of prop clearance.
