Taylorcraft Aeroplanes Ltd began its activities in 1938 making light observation aircraft designed by the
Taylorcraft Aircraft Corporation of America. Based on the Taylorcraft model B the company developed the
Taylorcraft Auster series, which were mainly used as light utility and Air Observation Post(AOP) aircraft.1,604
high-wing Taylorcraft Auster monoplanes were built during World War II for the armed forces of the UK and
Canada.The name change to Auster occurred on 7 March 1946.
Since 1924 KLM did already aerial photography and air cartering. Initially it used a Fokker CII, the Fokker F.VIIa
and the Fokker F.VIII. After WW2 it restarted this services and bought one Auster MkV from the warsurplus of
the RAF. Later all kinds of types were added, especially Cessna’s and Pipers. Often it hired additional capacity
from third parties.In 1995 the company was sold to the Dutch Heidemij. The Auster PH OTO was bought from
the war surplus from the RAF. It flew from 1946 till 1964 with KLM Aerocarto.

The Pilatus Porter is one of the most unique planes in the air. Originally introduced in 1959, she has been used
in war, for police work, rescue, agriculture, bush flying, and many other positions where flexibility is required.
The Porter is a STOL aircraft, and has the ability to go into reverse thrust at altitude to lose altitude very
quickly. The plane can almost beat a skydiver down!
