It started many years ago, when I, only 13 years old, visited my first aircraft wreck. This was a Douglas Boston bomber from Russia, shot down in 1944 by a Focke Wulf 190 from Berlevaag airfield. I became interested in historical aircraft, and I get in contact with people with the same interest as me. In 1987 I lost my job, and I had to leave Finnmark to find a new job, and ended up in Bodo. I started on a higher education, and in 1995 I got a job at the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodo. In Bodo there was a aviation society and I became a member of  Bodo Aviation Historical Society.  During the years I have visit a lot of wreck sites in Northern Norway to collect aircraft and parts for the museum in Norway as a voluntary, and have used a lot of times on this hobby.

To day I work for the Avinor Museum, a part of the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodo, as a work manager.

At my spare time I  still  restore aircraft and  wreckage, right now is the cockpit section of our Petlyakov Pe-2 completed, and it is
moved into the exhibition in the military section of the museum. Now I work on restoring the Focke Wulf FW-190 A-3 hull which now stands inside the workshop at the museum. Since I am the project manager on this plane, I'm trying to acquire as many original parts as possible. This is not easy, but with the help of friends and acquaintances, and shop online can I find parts so the aircraft will be nearly complete.

At my homepage you will find an article from this work, and the history of the aircraft (in Norwegian).

You will find some buttons were you can choose what you want to look at, you will find articles and a lot of pictures from my hobby and from my birthplace Kongsfjord in northern Norway.

If you are interested in historical aviation I can recommend a membership in Bodo Aviation Historical Society, you will get four copies of the excellent magazine Norwegian Aviation Magazine a year.

If you have pictures of aircraft wreck in Norway, or know about wreck sites, please contact me by E-Mail.
