LN-SUB (2)

Douglas DC-6B

45496 / 992

Braathens S.A.F.E.

 

Note: LN-SUB (1) was De Havilland DH.114 Prinair Heron 2 c/n 14080 flying for Braathens from November 1957 to 1960.

LN-SUB (3) was Boeing 737-205 c/n 21765/595 flying for Braathens from August 1979 to October 1990.

 

LN-SUB with Braathens S.A.F.E. (South American and Far East Air Transport A/S) was noted several times at Riem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. I have reports from 19 September 1966, 19 January 1968, 27 January 1968, 5 January 1969 (diversion from SZG), 22 February 1970, 20 March 1970 and 2 June 1970. This photo may have been taken on 5 January 1969 - a day when four Britannia Airways Britannias were also noted at the airport. On 16 June 1971 and 9 July 1971, the DC-6B returned to Riem as LN-MTV with new operator SAGA Norsk Flytjenste.

Everts Air Cargo DC-6B N151 is nearing the end of its service life and has been acquired by The Museum of Aviation History at Sola Airport in Stavanger, Norway. N151 flew for the Norwegian airline Braathens-SAFE as LN-SUB in the 1960’s and will be put on static display at the museum in period Braathens-SAFE colors.

 

The DC-6B will be flown to Norway by an Everts crew in late October or early November (2019). Everts is gathering historical information and images of the aircraft for a presentation that is being put together.

 

The return flight actually took place in June 2020, see report and videos here:
