33 French Stinsons - where are they now?

Looking for help with a major piece of research upon which I've embarked.

In 1940 just before France fell, 33 Stinson HW75 liaison a/c were purchased from mostly private owners in the US and Canada to be shipped over the Atlantic from Newfoundland.

There's a long a fascinating story (worthy of a film) of how each one found its way to Newfoundland and threads of that story, post war, of where some ended up.

Two came to the UK from French Aero Clubs in the 70/80s and and I have some data on a few more.

So what happened to the 25 or so others?

Any avenues of enquiry forumites can suggest, on here or by pm, would be very much appreciated. Thanks
