Taxiing for takeoff from Runway 31 on a test flight while being overhauled by Scottish Aviation Limited at Prestwick as part of the process of transfer from the Canadian Armed Forces to the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Joined the RCAF as 12755 in 1962, later becoming 104755 with the CAF. Entered Norwegian service in 1974 with 334 Squadron. Retired in 1983, stored, preserved, used as an educational resource and ultimately became a well presented static exhibit at Kjeller Aviation Museum. This photo is copyright © David A.
