Some wonderfully atmospheric shots you have come up with there, wieesso, of the Workmaster on Mont Blanc, seemingly confirming what the Museum staff told me of the rescue missions it helped with. Hope someone will in turn do a rescue job on the aircraft itself as it would be good to see it airborne again. How on earth do you manage to keep on finding these gems?

Looks as if the aircraft has had a pretty varied working career and presumably before that it was used as a crop sprayer/duster in North Africa.

Any other known survivors, apart from long-term Namur resident G-APSR and the UK-based G-APMH?
