This aircraft, ex G-AIGH was up for sale in 2013 in Spain. Did it sell and is it still airworthy in Spain.

The Agencia Estotal de Seguridad Aerea (AESA) do have their current aircraft register listed (most recent update 10/1/20) on the web.  They provide  the following information:

EC-AIS Auster VJ-1, c/no.2190, constructed 1946, Spanish registered 30/1/71, engine a Blackburn Cirrus Minor II.

What they don't list are the interesting bits, like owner, owner's address, C of A expiry date etc.  So apart from the  fact that the aircraft is still currently registered, nothing much there to answer the initial post.

Looking back at my post (which I cannot amend directly with no 'edit' function), the date is all wrong for a EC-AAA-AZZ series registration and for an aircraft which had UK initial registration G-AIGH cancelled 9.9.53 on export to Spain.  Looking through the early registrations in the main series  while some have 50s dates, others have early 70s dates, so there may have been a census of registrations around that time.

It sounds as if the AESA in Spain has taken the GDPR even further than the DGAC has in France. At least the DGAC lists, online, owner/operator details for aircraft currently registered, even if it has withdrawn previous owner/operator details for such aircraft and for aircraft no longer registered.
