Photo Comment

The Swedish Air Force introduced its own designation system when it was established. The DH Vampire became "Jaktflygplan 28" or Fighter Aircraft 28. This example is actually 28219, but painted to represent an F15 aircraft. Note the red squadron insignia on the wall. The insignia in the middle is that of 1. Division's technical company, 1. komp F15. The two others are those of 1. Divison. The black hand on left was used from the early 1960s until it was replaced by "Attackix" around 1978.
