A German Albatros B.II was damaged during a stopover in Stockholm in 1914 but WWI broke out before it could be repaired. The B.II was copied by the Swedes with 40 examples produced at various workshops around Sweden. This aircraft was built at Flygkompaniet's fabric workshops in Malmslätt in 1925 and given the c/n 464. It was one of eight of the original forty aircraft that were transferred to the Flygvapnet when it was formed in 1926 and given the designation Sk 1. A new Flygvapnet serial 04 was assigned and placed at the flying school at F 5 Ljungbyhed where it flew until SOC in 1929.

Built in 1925 at Sodertalje

Built at Sodertalje. Type operated in the training role by the Swedish AF from 1925 until 1929. Currently displayed in the Malmen museum.

Designed by Ernst Heinkel and first flown in 1914, the Albatros B.II was the main German reconnaissance aircraft early in WWI, despite the poor view for the observer who sat in the front cockpit. It was also an important trainer. One B.II was interned in Sweden at the outbreak of the war, and the design was copied and manufactured by several Swedish companies.
