The United Nations intervened when the province of Katanga tried to separate from the freshly independent Belgian Congo in 1960. Sweden sent a small squadron of Tunnans which saw actual combat against Katangese forces. Swedish roundels were overpainted with white UN markings. A very interesting static exhibit at the Malmen airshow, no longer on display in the adjacent museum.
