: Here's my RNoAF (Royal Norwegian Airforce) Heuer flyback
: chronograph.

:
:

: One of my colleagues in his 50's came up to me one day at work and
: said he had found a old watch in a drawer that might be of
: interest for me.... He knew of my love for Heuer. And out of his
: pocket comes a Norwegian issued Heuer Bund. Do you want this old
: watch? He asked..... yes I did :-) He would not accept any money
: for it, but said ok to a symbolic sum after some persuasion. He
: got the watch when he was serving his time in the Norwegian
: Airforce as a photographer in the late 1970's. It was a gift
: from a friend that worked with supplies. He got it when they was
: phaseing some of them out.

: My friend was stationed at Rygge Air Base in the late 1970s. Based
: at Rygge was the 336 Squadron with their Northrop F-5 Freedom
: Fighters. The first F-5 arrived at Rygge in 1965 and stayed in
: active duty untill 2000 when the squadron was closed. My Heuer
: came from Rygge and was most likely worn by a F-5 pilot.

:

: The back is stamped LUFTFORSVARET and a number that ends with /76.
: This indicates that it was issued in 1976. The majority of these
: watches have the word “Bundeswehr” engraved on the back as
: they were issued to German servicemen from 1968 until the late
: 1970’s (Bundes Wehr means ‘Federal Defence’ in German).

: Great watch! I love it. Runs perfect after a service and a set of
: new hands.
