Operated by the Swedish A.F. from 1938 to 1945. Used by F19 in Finland in Winter 1940, hence the swastika and code letter 'F'.

Although wearing Finnish contemporary markings - which had nothing to do with the Nazis - it was actually a Swedish air force unit which fought the Russians from Kemi in northern Finland during the final two months of the 1939-40 Winter War. It had twelve Gladiator fighters and four Hart light bombers with open cockpits. Swedish Harts were all powered by Mercury radial engines. Note the skis carried for use by the crew in an emergency. This airframe did not actualy serve in Finland.

Still looking ready to scramble, together with J35J 35586, at the intriguing Aeroseum, in a former Swedish cavern hangar. In fact this Viggen is being maintained as a backup for the currently airworthy example.

76 examples were built of the S29C photo reconnaissance version of Saab's famous Flying Barrel. This one is preserved at Kia dealer Kareby Bil in Kareby, near Kungälv.

Carries sixteen mission symbols resembling bears, probably signifying anti-submarine patrols.

The Swedish Air Force provided a first-class show at Malmen AB to celebrate the 100th anniversary of aviation in Sweden, with an excellent mix of old and new in the flying display

The two Swedish AF Sabreliners are rarely seen in public and are used for experimental MAD-type work. The extremely long parallel probes fitted at the front pose a bit of a question to photographers - whether to include or not, a bit like helicopter rotors! I shot it both ways, but this version gives a better view of the aircraft itself

Preserved at a Kia garage.
