This replica was built for Sylvest Jensen's Air Circus. The replica has made 89 flights, the first flight was on 14 March 1950. The total flight time is 21 hours. Most of the flights were carried out in Denmark, but the plane has also flown abroad, the last flight was in August 1960. In 1989-1990, a group of volunteers restored the aircraft, including manufacturing a brand new wing, as well as refurbishing the engine. Due to corrosion in the steel tubes of the body, the aircraft cannot be taken into the air, but it is able to taxi around uder its own engine power.
