Three-seat AOP machine with a 260hp Continental IO-470-D 6-cylinder horizontally opposed more powerful engine, that raised the maximum speed to 142 mph (228 km/h) and the empty weight to 1,806lb (816 kg). Apart from the engine, the AOP. 11 was almost identical to its predecessor. Early in its career (photo, right), the undercarriage had spats, though these were later removed. Only one, a converted AOP. 9 was produced, making its first flight on 18 August 1961 with serial XP254. A year later it was registered to Beagle aircraft, that had taken over Auster in 1960, as G-ASCC where it was known as the Beagle Mk 11, the E.3 or as the A.115. It was sold into private hands in 1971.
