LN-KLK Convair 440-75 Metropolitan (cn 357), Norsk Metropolitan Klubb

            West Malling, UK - 31 August 1987

6th Great Warbirds Air Display

The Norsk Metropolitan Klubb was a non-commercial organisation set up to preserve and operate LN-KLK after it had been retired from active service with Nor-Fly in Mar 1984. The club's main aim was to arrange trips for aviation enthusiasts to places of aviation interest both in Norway and abroad, as well as general pleasure flights. It seems to have been very active for a number of years, and made quite a few visits to suitable 'vintage-type' airshows in the UK. Unfortunately, new safety regulations and increasing maintenance costs meant that it became unviable to continue, and LN-KLK was grounded in June 1988. The Great Warbirds Air Display 87 was the last time it came to the UK, and was probably one of its last airshow appearances anywhere.
