Crop dusting, or rather 'aerial application' hasn't been banned in the UK - it's just that it's rarely an economic operation nowadays, given the plethora of rules and the antics of envirofundamentalist tree-huggers. But, even under the leaden hand of €urocracy, it's still legal for those so qualified.
CAP 414 The Aerial Application Certificate is the defining document.
Great story, Chuck! I can still recall the sight (and smell) of crop spraying in the 1950s in the West Country - when Bradfords supported aircraft such as the Tiger Moth and Auster based at Merryfield in Somerset.
