The damaged airframe was used shortly afterwards as a source of spares in the rebuild of Auster G-AOHZ. According to a contemporary report in "Yorkshire Air News" (February 1972):
"Auster G-AOHZ has now departed from Hill Farm, Marton, where it was damaged by fire on 5th May 1971 to Ringway. It is now being rebuilt into one aircraft with the assistance of G-APKI which was damaged at Perranporth on the 16th May, 1971."
