The fuselages and wings were manufactured at <a href="/wiki/Syston" title="Syston">Syston</a> under the works manager by the name of Sharp. Sheet metalwork was done at the old 'en tout cas' works at Thurmaston. Final assembly, fitting out and testing took place at <a href="/wiki/Rearsby" title="Rearsby">Rearsby</a> aerodrome. The name changed to Auster (after <a href="/wiki/Notus#Auster" title="Notus">the Roman name for the south wind</a>) on 7 March 1946, when production shifted to Rearsby aerodrome, all in <a href="/wiki/Leicestershire" title="Leicestershire">Leicestershire</a>.
