The RNoAF supports the Royal Family and has had Falcon 20 for their use. However, when Queen Sonja visited the Norwegian Polar Institute's Troll research station on Queen Maud's Land - named after her husband's grandmother - her chariot was a Hercules from 335 Skv routing via Cape Town where 953 is seen transiting to Troll Airfield which the Queen opened officially the following day, 11 February 2005.
