The only surviving Wicko, G-AFJB, spent several years under the ownership of Ken Wooley who saved the aircraft from almost certain demise at Baginton in the mid 1960s, displaying it in his garden at Berkeswell Forge. He painted the aircraft into its wartime guise of DR613, worn when it served with the Air Transport Auxiliary at White Waltham. The aircraft was restored to fly again in the early c2005.

In the mid 1960s Kenneth Woolley bought G-AFJB for £20 to save it from being scrapped. He repainted it in wartime ATA markings with its impressment serial as no original photos existed. It was displayed in the garden of his home at Berkeswell, Warwickshire, until he built a blister hangar to house it in. It was restored to the register as G-AFJB on 2 January 1973 and still flying by 2015.
