This airframe was restored by Northrop Aircraft Corporation and was donated to Norway in November 1980. 24 units of this rare Northrop N-3PB Nomad have been operated by 330 (Norway) Squadron from several bases in Iceland starting in June 1941.

Served with 330 (Norwegian) Squadron out of Iceland for patrol duties. This aircraft was raised from a river where it sank in 1943. Northrop restored it to static condition and from 1980 this rare bird is part of the Gardermoen collection.

Delivered to the Norwegian Navy (in exile in Canada) on 25 March 1941 with the serial 20. In April 1941 it was integrated into the RAF, keeping its Norwegian serial. It served with 330 (Norwegian) Sqn in Iceland as GS-U. The squadron provided convoy escort duties for the sea lanes around Iceland during WW2. In 1942 the GS squadron code was removed, and also the serial was by then not carried anymore, only the U was retained. On 21 April 1943 it made a forced landing on the Thjórsá River in Iceland and sank. In 1979 the wreck was lifted and brought to Northrop for restoration. In November 1980 it was given to Norway and became an exhibit at the Forsvarets Flysamling at Gardermoen. The triangle marking on the fin is the Northrop logo.
