slide scan from the NK collection. - Friendship c/n 10245 was active from 1964 until 1996, finally as SE-KZD with Air Nordic/SWE Aviation. Its fuselage was used for some training thereafter, and it was reported at Groningen in derelict condition in 2022. - Air Executive Norway operated a total of five Fokker 27s, all of them were transferred to Busy Bee in 1980.

Enjoying a Scandinavian career all her active life, this Friendship was newly delivered to Norway in 3.64 in Braathens colours (memories of the Airfix kit when they changed it from Aer Lingus) and was transferred to Air-Executive during 11.75 in this modified livery. Later repainted in Busy Bee colours, she was sold to Air Nordic Swe in 6.93 as SE-KZD. Wfu at Woensdrecht three years later; dismantled and reassembled as an emergency trainer at Oudehaske (NL) in 4.04
