The aircraft was delivered to 336 Sqn in 1950 as B-B1. Transferred to 337 Sqn in July 1951 and given the code ZK-U. After being withdrawn from use it was transferred to Værnes Air Station for storage. Written off in 1957 and selected as a museum object (after 618 flying hours). The Vampire was the RNoAF's first jet fighter and between May 1948 and April 1951, a total of 20F MK.II and 36 FB Mk.52's were delivered. The Air Force tried to (unsuccesfully) sell the aircraft in 1955 and 1956, resulting in the aircraft being scrapped, except for 6 T Mk.55's that were sold back to the factory.
