Started life in Sep 1942 as 08109 of the US Navy. Sold to the Danish Air Force in Sep 1951 as 82-857 "Munin", withdrawn from use on 14 October 1967 and stored at Værlose. Bought by Jens Larsen and transported to his farm near Plejerup, Denmark. Acquired by the museum in November 1989 in poor condition and beautifully restored and painted in Norwegian markings, as seen here.
