| Description |
c/n 1203 Built 1960 Allocated US military serial ‘64-14079’ but delivered to Norway in 1966 and saw Royal Norwegian Air Force service as ‘079’. In 1978 it served in Lebanon with the Norwegian UN Force and has now been returned to its UN colour scheme for preservation. On display in the Military Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum). Bodø, Northern Norway 25th May 2019 The following information is from the Museum website:- “The Royal Norwegian Air Force received the first four UH-1Bs in July 1963 as part of the NATO Military Assistance Programme. 339 Squadron was resurrected at Bardufoss as a helicopter squadron and 720 and 719 Squadrons were also established with UH-1Bs. The squadrons’ primary task was to carry out support missions for the Army. Secondary tasks were rescue service, military transport and support of the civil community. The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum’s Bell UH-1B, 64-14079/079, was taken over by the RNoAF on 20 October 1966 and was with 720 Squadron for the whole of its operational period in Norway. In April 1978 the machine was selected to serve in NORAIR, as part of the Norwegian UN Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Back at Rygge in 1979, the helicopter was again painted in its original olive green colour. When the UH-1B was replaced by the Bell 412 at the end of the 1980s, 64-14079/079 had accumulated 8,128.8 flying hours in 720 Squadron. The helicopter was transferred to the Norwegian Defence Museum in 1995, to convey the history of Norway’s UN commitment.” |
