Talking of Russian stuff....

...I remember reading in (I think) Flight International, many, many years ago, of an Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle being used by Russian Fir Trappers as late as 1959! This isn't as daft as it sounds since I believe we shipped Albemarles over there - weren't we good to the Russians!?
I wonder if anyone else recalls this item and can shed any more light on it?
It must be possible that this aircraft is still sitting abandoned at some remote airstrip, just waiting for someone to come along and rescue it? And who knows how many more may have been used in this way, too?
