I have flown it. Back in 1959, it was owned by my employer, Norronafly in Norway.

Originally it had a stubwing instead of the wing pontoons.
A ski-wheel combination could be retracted ito the stub wing matching the undeside contour. To save weight the system was abandoned in favor of the pontoons, which eliminated the amphibious capabilities.

she seems very similar to the grumman goose ( with a higher tail ) . Is it a norwegian version ?

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
