Summary[edit]

Description

c/n 14015. Built in 1953 for Garuda Indonesia Airways as PK-GHB. By April 1957 she was back in the UK as G-AOXL and flew with Morton Air Services until late 1971, including a period in the late 1960’s operating for British United Island Airways. She was then sold to Fjellfly in Norway and registered as LN-BFY. Sadly, the operation folded before the Heron entered service and she remained stored at Geiteryggen until 1984. She then joined the museum at Sola and was painted to represent ‘LN-PSG’ of Braathens S.A.F.E., an aeroplane based at Stavanger during the 1950’s. Well preserved, she remains on display at the Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola, Norway. 10th June 2017

NOTE:- The Heron preserved outside the old Croydon Airport Terminal in South London is painted as G-AOXL during her time with Morton Air Services, but is actually G-ANUO, c/n 14062.
