Location not shown but this aircraft was used on a Forestry Commission fertilising contract on quite a number of Forests around 1975. It was cheaper than the little helicopters carrying a pannier each side and a pay load of six hundredweight but required long flat, firm fields to land, load and take off again. The registration number is again G-AXFF and described elsewhere on the website.

Does anyone remember this aircraft working in forests?
