This now poor old Nora was delivered to the Luftwaffe in April 1959 as GB-115. After her flying days, she was preserved here in 1971 without tail, tailbooms and engines. Serving as the restaurant 'Zur Noratlas', she was apparently still in business in 2017, even winning a supportive prize. The money appears not to have been spent on preservation. At some point after mid-2020, the text '77 AIRLINE' was painted behind the serial on this side.
