I am the owner of G-ASFK and I can confirm it resides 2 hours east of Melbourne on a strip. The pic on G-INFO was taken at home [ the strip] after re-assembly in September 2010.
The Auster is still registered as G-ASFK and current.
I can send pics on request: [email]vx118@bigpond.com[/email]
Or you can visit personally!

http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/G-ANOK.html “It ended up in the East Fortune Museum in Scotland for a time when it was retired from service and now is laying in a barn on the Scottish Borders and no possible chance of restoration and re flying. A sad end to a very nice aeroplane.
I have fond memories of it, even though I was only 7 or 8 years old at the time.”
The Heron OY-DGR was bought by Cimber Air 02.12.66. This photo seems to be from Dec 66 or early 67 before the black Cimber Air title and the red/black tail logo was painted on the fuselage (compare with this photo from 09.05.67 http://www.oy-reg.dk/billeder/l10701.jpg)
Thanks for posting of all this great photos! 🙂
