Photo Comment

This view shows the Norwegian Air Forces' training colours as they were applied in Canada during WW2. This is the second LN-BIF and actually never flew with the RNoAF. This Cornell was delivered to the USAAF on 26 February 1944. Less than 14 months later it was struck off charge and sold on the civilian market in April 1945. It arrived in Norway as N51324 in June 2002.
