    Notes: 2011 photo at Forsvaret Flysamling Museum (Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection), Kjeller Airport, Oslo - Lockheed C-60A Lodestar N283M, painted as G-AGIH.This particular Lodestar was delivered to he USAAF in May 1943, but eventually ended up with Sir Air in Finland as OH-SIR. Many British enthusiasts will remember this aircraft when it subsequently was owned by Aces High at North Weald, registered G-BMEW. The FFS obtained it from Tacair Systems and painted it to represent a Lodestar operated by BOAC / Norwegian Government on refugee flights between Leuchars and Stockholm / Bromma during WWII
