During my tour of AFNorth 77-80 on the CinCs Staff I flew in the Andover on quite a few occasions.
Oslo-Copenhagen was a regular as was Oslo-Kiel and Oslo and all points north.
The aircraft was hangared at Fornebu and the Captain was, if my memory serves me right, Roy Bransbury and the Navigator Dave Bennett
The Ground Crew provided the inflight refreshments which were the same every trip,a selection of open sandwiches,sticky buns, tea and coffee.
Reference Duty Free,yes it was available at Kolsas but wine was a great deal cheaper in a German Naafi Shop and therefore full advantage of this was taken whenever a flight was made to Germany.
Happy memories of the crew and the aircraft and of a great 3 years in Oslo.
