The flight started in Västervik, Sweden under false intentions. The purpose was to extract Pavlina Porizkova, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Porizkova who fled from Czechoslovakia to Sweden when communist regime took over the country. The two pilots, together with Mrs Porizkova, were arrested by Czech police. They was later released and the a/c was sent to Sweden by boat "brutally dismantled". Pavlina eventually joined her parents in 1974.

SF-FFN was eventually rebuilt, and re-registered in February 1975 to K.E. Rosenqvist, Malmo. Sold 02-04-1987 to Denmark and became OY-CSF.
