Comments: Though painted as OH-VKN, this aircraft didn't actually serve with Kar-Air. However it did fly for many years in Scandinavia, having been delivered to SAS as SE-BSY in February 1958. After being sold in the mid-1970s it went on to fly in Botswana and South Africa before being acquired by Cochise Airlines in 1979. After being parked at Malaga for some years, it became a museum exhibit and is in very good condition.
