This original Blériot XI is owned and flown by Mikael Carlson. It was licence-built in Sweden in 1918 by AB Enoch Thulin Aeroplanfabrik (AETA), under the name Thulin A and serial number 82-748. In 1986 Mikael found it in a barn in disassembled but complete condition, restored it, and first flew it in 1991. He originally intended to fly his other Bleriot XI SE-AMZ at the 2013 Hahnweide show, but this was damaged at the Dittingen airshow the week before. Mikael keeps his planes at his private airstrip at Kvarnhem, Sebbarp in Löberöd, Sweden.
