Photo Comment

Started her career August 1958 with LTG62 in Ahlhorn as GA-233. Later GB-113, GB-107 and 5241 and struck off charge shortly before the USAF took over Ahlhorn late 1971. Bought for Elbeflug as D-ACUG, one of no less than 16 Noras (13 actually got the company livery) and two DC-6s. Due to fraudulent mismanagement, Elbeflug went bankrupt without operating. Nora was auctioned to mr. Potts in May 1972 and brought from Hamburg to Minden by train. In the park since 1974 and open for interior viewing until moved in March 2009, inside the track of then new rollercoaster 'TURBO-Drachen'.
