Built in 1934 and registered to J.L.Tiedemands Tobaksfabrik (Oslo) in August 1934. Canceled in February 1935 and became 99 with Hærens flyvåpen. Later flying around in Sweden as SE-AFI. After an accident in 1951, the arcraft was stored. It is part of the collection since 1962, after being donated to the museum by K. Overman. The real PH-HHH (c/n 712) was also built in 1934 and initially registered G-ACWJ in July 1934. It became PH-HHH in January 1935. To the RAF in June 1940 as AP508 (until 1941).

A rare outing for this licence-built Cierva C.30A, which is said by some to be c/n 706. Was briefly on the British register in 1934, but moved to Norway as LN-BAD and even served in the Norwegian military as 99. Was sold to Sweden and was registered as SE-AFI until 1951 when it was purchased by a Dutch businessman who presented it to what later would become the Aviodrome at Lelystad. The aircraft has always been displayed indoors, and was recently painted up as PH-HHH.

Built in 1934, this autogyro has a history in Scandinavia as LN-BAD, 99 of the Norwegian military, and SE-AFI. It represents PH-HHH (c/n 712), also built in 1934 as G-ACWJ, which was bought by Dutch private pilot Jacob Mees in 1934 and ended up in the RAF as AP508.
