Built for the US Navy as 126867 and transferred in 1955. Struck off charge in 1962 and sold to Svensk Flygjanst in 1963 as target tug SE-EBK until 1976. In 1985 it was registered as G-BMFB then exported as N4277N in 1990. In 2021 it is reportedly at the Tillamook NAS Museum/OR painted as 126840. [The lads in this shot look as if they are imagining what it would be like to get behind the controls of a brute like this.]
