Between 1954 and 1956, Saab manufactured 76 copies of the Spaningstunnan, the reconnaissance version. The S 29C was equipped with seven cameras but carried no armament. This aircraft was delivered to Södermanland's air fleet F 11 in Nyköping in March 1955. Four years later, the aircraft was transferred to Norrbotten's air flotilla F 21. For the last three years 1967 to 1970, the aircraft was stationed at Östgöta air flotilla F 3. it was SOC in June 1970 and is now on display at this very interesting museum.

The Swedish expeditionary squadron in Congo, F22, included two S29C photo reconnaissance Tunnans from late 1962, 29944 / A and 29906 / B.

Unlike most of the J29Bs, the two S29C Tunnans sent to the Congo returned to Sweden and 29944 / 22-A is seen arriving back at its parent unit, F11 reconnaissance wing at Nyköping - Skavsta. The two aircraft had been camouflaged while in Africa.
