"Askeladden", or LN-KAF, was one of the first seaplanes that the Norwegian Aviation Company (DNL) launched at the opening of the coastal route between Oslo and Tromsø in 1936. This aircraft has a long and quite incredible history. It flew under various names, owners and conversions at Skattøra until 1956. And it continued to fly – in other countries and continents. At the age of 70, "Askeladden" still flies – now as the D-AQUI "Berlin Tempelhof" in Germany – as one of the world's most famous vintage aircraft.
"Askeladden" was approved for flying on 14 February 1948 and reintroduced coastal route traffic between Skattøra and Oslo, at the same time as DNL was merged with SAS (DNL/SAS). "Askeladden" was also repaired with parts from another of DNL's old Ju 52 machines – LN-KAE with the name "Pål" (a Ju52-3/m, W.nr. 130704).
Special thanks to Jankees for helping me understand custom livery making and for the troubleshooting.
Seams nice! I will give it a try! Too sad there is no seaplane base in the game at Tromsø.
