Last registered as N283M in 1986, seen here with former registration OH-SIR showing through.

The real G-AGIH was a Norwegian Lend-Lease aircraft, operated by BOAC. On 29 August 1944 the aircraft crashed into hilly terrain in bad weather, while en-route from Stockholm-Bromma, Sweden to RAF Leuchars in Scotland. Three crew and 12 passengers were on board, all Norwegian. Four passengers survived. This aircraft at the museum is in fact ex N283M/OH-SIR, which was falsely painted to represent that very Lodestar.

The aircraft was built as USAAF C-60A in 1943 but was later civilianised and served as an executive transport for a number of US companies before being converted to photo-mapping configuration in the early 1970s and exported to Finland as OH-MAP and later OH-SIR. It is now exhibited in the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, painted as "G-AGIH" one of the Norwegian crewed Lodestars that made clandestine flights between Scotland and Sweden during WWII.
