defo at the old USN seaplane base at Punta del Este, in 2013. There were also two ex-RN Astazou Jetstreams with Culdrose markings although their engines had been robbed, and a good number of ex-USN Grumman Trackers. Looks like they ran out of money and spares to keep them flying. XR-505 looked all there though and was protected from any weather. Also a signed squadron print in the crewroom of a nearby building relating to the Wx II delivery. I've got some other photos of two decimated airframes but I don't seek to make an old aviator weep.
