Building runways is challenging in Norway and DNL acquired five Sandringham flying boats after WWII. LN-IAU is seen operating alongside two diehard seaplane Ju 52s which can just be identified as LN-KAE behind LN-KAF. As far as we can work out, LN-KAF could be either the first (c/n 5489), or the second (c/n 130714) which became the nostalgy bird "D-AQUI" - see photo 70519 for details. Sandviken was replaced by the short-lived Hjellestad water airport on 23 August 1948 and DNL became part of SAS that year. Photo from: Nasjonalbiblioteket (Norway)

RAI (Reseau Aerien Interinsulaire) flew Sandringham flying boats in the 1960s. It became Air Polynesie, which was the predecessor of the current Air Tahiti.
