Hint: The gentleman making the speech is Norwegian Defence Minister Nils Handal
Not so upon further checking. (Sorry to lead you astray
). By the time of the formation overflight (24 Republic F-84s and 3 Lockheed T-33s), Handal had left the podium after the main festivities. The fellow in the picture is actually the director of military airport construction named Muller Ellefsen, who officially handed the aerodrome over to the RNAF (or RNoAF for some later purists
).
Didn't mean to mislead you.
Cheers,
