The IGN aircraft F-BEEA was the one that was sadly destroyed in a take-off accident during the filming of Memphis Bell. Assume it was still actively surveying up until then - forty four years, not bad!

The Martin Mars are still being used as water bombers this year - I believe they were in action over the summer.
