Photo Comment

The aircraft was built as USAAF C-60A in 1943 but was later civilianised and served as an executive transport for a number of US companies before being converted to photo-mapping configuration in the early 1970s and exported to Finland as OH-MAP and later OH-SIR. It is now exhibited in the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, painted as "G-AGIH" one of the Norwegian crewed Lodestars that made clandestine flights between Scotland and Sweden during WWII.
