This crop-sprayer was sold to Sudan in 1956. From a correspondent - In the summer of 1955, along with G-AMPB this Auster was used to spray the fir plantations on Cannock Chase against an infestation of Pine Looper Moths. They used a large field to the east of the B5102 Cannock Penkridge road. Both Austers were painted bright yellow.
