Driving through Helsingør, after a visit to Kronborg castle, we found even with the use of our TomTom gps the museum a little hard to locate. The building is rather anonymous, but the collection is worth a visit. |

A Beech 18 look-alike (though the engines looked quite different): the Skandinavisk Aero Industri (SAI) KZ IV, OY-DZU (c/n 70). S-16 is a deHavilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth. |
The company's aeroplanes were labelled "KZ" for Kramme and Zeuthen, the first being the KZ I from 1937. The KZ IV was built as an ambulance plane for Zone-Redningskorpset and introduced in 1944. Post-war sales never reached the company's expectations, and production turned unprofitable in the early 1950s, driving the company to shutdown. In total, about 200 planes were built by the company. A number of the KZ planes have been preserved. As of 2005, Dansk Veteranflysamling (The Danish Collection of Vintage Aircraft) exhibits a specimen of each of the 11 aircraft models manufactured by the company. [WIKIPEDIA] |

![]() The cockpit of Douglas DC-7C 'Seven Seas' OY-KNB (c/n 44929); only this cockpit has been saved. The museum also has the forward fuselage of DC-7C OY-KND (c/n 45211), but one needs special permission to see this. |
