Northrop N3P-B No 20 engaged upon an RAF Coastal Command mercy mission. The crew is seen helping the patient out of the floatplane on arrival at Reykjavik, 1942. The floatplane would then be pulled alongside the ramp and drawn out of the water on its wheels. Note the group fishing in the photograph.

The restored aircraft immediately after rollout from the Northrop factory.

The two photographs give some idea of the standard of restoration work carried out by the Northrop company. A seat pan is shown before and after restoration.

The wreck of N3P-B could be seen sticking out of the Thjorsa river for several years after the war. This picture was taken by a local farmer.
