Vingtor Airways was a short-lived Norwegian airline formed by former military personnel. Formerly JX419, LN-OAR crashed in the Lofoten on 5 August 1947 after a flight from Oslo. Here it is seen after an emergency landing near Pampus Island, off Amsterdam, one month earlier. According to a Dutch newspaper, it was flying 16 sailors from Fornebu to Trieste when the autopilot malfunctioned. The aircraft was painted red with cream trim.
