Norseman restoration completed in Sweden

摘要

Noorduyn Norseman IV SE-CPB has been restored at the Arlanda Aircraft Collection, near Stockholm, Sweden. Built in 1942, it first served with the RCAF before being acquired by the Royal Norwegian Air Force, with whom it flew as an ambulance aircraft. It 1960 it entered civilian hands in Sweden, flying as SE-CPB for several owners. For a while it was fitted with floats and based in Gallivare. In 1977 it was donated to the Air Force Museum (Flygvapenmuseum) which - because it already had a Norseman - transferred it to the Arlanda Aircraft Collection. Led by volunteers, a thorough restoration process ensued. As well as the exterior, the cockpit, instrument panel and passenger seats have all been returned to stock condition.
