I see it is said to be in exceptionally good condition, and will eventually go to Herdla museum. Where the heck is that?

Herdla is on the west coast, ca 35 km northwest of Bergen.

The RAF had a total of nine L4B Cubs. RAF Serials FR886-FR889, total four. Then HK93-HK939, total four. Then there was the odd one out, VM286. A total of nine.
Info from Lend-Lease Aircraft In World War II by Pearcy, Arthur. ISBN 1 85310 443 4

According to a couple of sites I found just now (1 and 2) FR886 was later re-serialed HK936, FR887 -> HK937, etc. I guess the correct number will be 5 then, including VM286.

The Tiger Moth still lives in Norway, and is operated by Nedre Romerike Flyklubb/Veteranflygruppen. Photo.

LN-MAX is cn 84167, but was however certified as cn 85738 (which belonged to LN-BDO, former DE840/G-ANSE, w/o 1963). It seems like G-ASPV’s parts were used on at least two different Tigers in Norway. The fuselage on LN-MAX, and the wings on LN-KAY (stored/being rebuilt?).

The RAF used a handful of L-4Bs for testing and evaluation only. FR886 was one of them, G-BDMS is however not the original FR886.

Dark Blue World was on Norwegian TV this night.

Where did they shoot the ‘RAF airfield’ scenes? The terrain and surroundings didn’t look very English in my opinion. 🙂 Was it shot in the Czech republic?

Thanks for the help guys! I contacted Mr. Peperell and he told med the book was sold out and the only way to get it was second hand. I’ve tried E-bay and Amazon, no joy…

Anyway, he also told me that his new book on Piper will be for sale during the end of this year or early next year! It is an update on the 1996 edition. 🙂

Anyone got any idea why the Multiflight BBJ2 was in Norway?

It was leased by Roman Abramovich (the owner of Chelsea FC). Combined business and pleasure trip I think.

That looks like a 1:1 replica, maybe fitted with an Allison V-12? 🙂

They were based at Oslo Fornebu until the airport was closed ( 😮 ), October 8th, 1998. The next couple of years Sandefjord Torp was home field for the warbirds.

I believe both of them were based at North Weald for a period, 2000-2002? I think the reason for putting them at North Weald was to have the planes closer to where ‘all’ the appropriate shows are held (reducing fuel costs etc).

Now, they are stored at different locations in Sweden. (I was told a couple of hours ago.) Anyway, thanks for your help! 🙂
