Photo Comment

The Swedish Air Force had acquired this Merlin IV from Golden Air; it was prepared for its new military duties when I saw it in Norway with a dual registration. The aircraft was used in Sweden until 1993 and was sold thereafter; recently it was seen as C-GTTM in service in 2022, and in storage at Calgary in 2024; its final (cargo) operator was Carson Air.
