Photo Comment

Awaiting restoration to flying condition at Duxford. This Firefly was built as an FR.1 at Stockport and served with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm as DT989. It was converted in 1950 to a TT.1 target tug and delivered to Sweden in the same year, flying with Svensk Flygtjänst as SE-BRG till 1963. From 1969-85 the aircraft was placed in the Technical Museum at Stockholm-Arlanda. The Firefly went to ARC at Duxford in Feb 2004.
