This spotless Albatross is hands down the best-looking aircraft in Hans Lauridsen's collection. He acquired it in 2008, and painted it as Coast Guard 7238 in 2013, even though it never served with them. It is in fact former US Navy Bu131904. The real Coast Guard 7238 was ex USAF SA-16A 51-7238, c/n 325. As far as I am aware, this Albatross hasn't flown at all since being painted in these markings.
