Constructed at the Kjeller aircraft factory in 1931. It belonged to the flying school at Kjeller and took part in battles in South Norway in 1940. It served as a reconnaissance aircraft, mainly operating in the mornings and evenings when the faster German aircraft were not so active. The aircraft was evacuated to Sweden on April 15, 1940, where it was taken over by the Swedish authorities. In 1942 the aircraft became SE-ALS. In 1949, the aircraft was presented to the Norwegian Air Force as a gift, flown home to Norway and restored to its original appearance.
