The previous farmer of the farm Hnjotur, Egill Olafsson († October 25th 1999) spent a large portion of his life collecting various items and articles of local and national historical importance for his museum.
His interest and emphasis was for many reasons oriented towards the aviation history of the country.
There is an old Douglas C-117D from the US Navy. It is in different pieces but is well recognized.
