First flight 16th September 1985 as SE-E37, and delivered new to Norving as LN-NVD on December 3rd 1985, as the first of three SF340s, although Norving never operated more than two of them at the same time.. Later PH-KJL, SE-KPD until October 2005 when converted to freighter. After this LY-NSC and ES-LSC and reportedly still in service as LY-NSC for Aerest (written in January 2024) My first photo of a SF340A

Seen under dark skies at Bergen-Flesland, Norving was already struggling at this time and folded two years later.

LN-NVD was on lease to Crossair when Norving folded during the summer of 1998. It remained with Crossair until December 1988.

In 2022, this SF340A is active as ES-LSC with Airest, flying cargo mainly between Tallinn and Helsinki. When I saw it as LN-NVD at Skien some decades earlier, it was operating for Norving, who had acquired it as new aircraft from the factory a few months before.

Ex Norving LN-NVD, registered 9th March 1989 and became SE-KPD 27th Apr 1990

Leased from Selenia Aviation Mar 89 to Apr 90
