The Autocar has been primarily operated by private pilot owners but some were used by small charter firms in the UK and elsewhere as taxi and photographic aircraft.
Pest Control Ltd took delivery of five J/5G Autocars in 1952 for crop spraying operations in Sudan.


The Aiglet was particularly suited to use by agricultural spraying and dusting contractors.
The spray bars were installed using supports on the Aiglet's fuselage undersurfaces and the wing struts.
Most sales were to Australia and New Zealand but seven were supplied to Aerial Spraying Contractors Ltd of Boston, Lincolnshire.
These were flown out to Sudan in autumn 1950 and within a month had rid 17,000 acres of farmland of locusts and other insect pests.

The agricultural task required operation at very low heights in conditions of extreme heat and inevitably resulted in the loss of many Aiglets in accidents.
After withdrawal from crop-spraying use during the late 1950s and early 1960s, the survivors were purchased by aerial photo contractors, aero clubs and private owners.
Many of these aircraft were fitted with an extra fuel tank beneath the fuselage, as shown in the adjacent photograph.

In 2009, several Aiglets remain in airworthy condition in Australia and New Zealand and three were active in the United Kingdom.

Most Adventurers were sold to private pilot owners in Australia and New Zealand.
Eleven Adventurers were still in service in Australia in 2009 and one in New Zealand (see image).
Six Adventurers were sold to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and four to the Royal Rhodesian Air Force (RRAF).
Five examples were completed for agricultural use as the J/5A Cropduster and served in Africa and Pakistan.
