LN-DAB  Junkers W.34W                            (c/n  2832)

                                   

                                        LN-DAB was named 'Ternen" ('Seagull', after the bird in the logo of Fred. Olsen & Co) and
                                        was registered to Det Norske Luftfartselskap, Fred. Olsen & Bergenske A/S.  It was flown
                                        as a float plane throughout its life. It was the first aircraft assembled from scratch at the AB Flyg-
                                        industri in Limhamn, Sweden.   It flew in July 1935 on the Bergen-Tromsø trial service, but, in
                                        the event, was considered too small and was transferred to flying joyrides, crew training and air
                                        mail service.    In the summer of 1939, it operated as an aerial photography aircraft in the north
                                        of Sweden.  In the autumn of that year the fuel tank imploded and it was at the DNL workshop
                                        for repairs when Nazi-Germany invaded the country.    After a failure to repair it successfully,
                                        LN-DAB was written off and scrapped at a scrap yard in Moss. The grainy picture above came
                                        from an early DNL handbook.
