Following a 9,251-hour rebuild by owner Tor Norstegard and a group of volunteers at a workshop in Fetsund, southern Norway, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch Werknummer 1816/LN-WNS made a 30-minute test flight from Kjeller airfield near Oslo with Tor at the controls on 7 October. A week later, after completing a further three hours of test flying, Tor ferried the machine to Eggemoen, 26 miles north-east of the Norwegian capital, where it will be stored for the winter. Tor's team is closely linked to the Warbirds of Norway organisation, and the machine will be seen at displays in northern Europe during the 2018 season.
