Photo Comment

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.
