A German Albatros B.II was damaged during a stopover in Stockholm in 1914 but WWI broke out before it could be repaired. The B.II was copied by the Swedes with 40 examples produced at various workshops around Sweden. This aircraft was built at Flygkompaniet's fabric workshops in Malmslätt in 1925 and given the c/n 464. It was one of eight of the original forty aircraft that were transferred to the Flygvapnet when it was formed in 1926 and given the designation Sk 1. A new Flygvapnet serial 04 was assigned and placed at the flying school at F 5 Ljungbyhed where it flew until SOC in 1929.

This aircraft served with the Swedish Navy from 1917 to 1922. In the 1930s the plane was dismantled and placed into storage. For the reopening of the Flygvapenmuseum in 2010 the plane was re-assembled for display.

In the 1940s, the Swedish AF required a primary training glider and the German Schulgleiter SG 38, was chosen. The type got an official Air Force designation, G 101 and were given air force serials - 8001-8040.. This example is on display at the Flygvapenmuseum but I can't find its original serial.

The Swedish AF group F19 flew Hawker Hart light-bombers, in Finnish markings, during the Finnish Winter War. Although this particular aircraft was Swedish AF but painted in Finnish markings for display at this very interesting museum.

The Bréguet C.U 1 was advanced for its time had been a great success at the military air competitions in Reims. The Swedish Army bought and imported the plane and gave it the designation B 1 (for biplane No.1). They also bought a Nieuport M1 intending to compare the two types prior to any order. However, the B 1 suffered many problems and was quickly discarded. In 1977 the Swedish Aviation History Society decided to built this copy using many original parts, including the tail section. It is now on display at this museum.

The RK-26 was a German twin-seat biplane trainer designed at the end of the 1920s. In December 1930 an agreement was signed for license production of the aircraft by the Swedish aircraft manufacturing company ASJA as the Flygvapnet was in need of a new trainer. They later ordered 25 aircraft and it was given the designation Sk 10. The plane was in service between 1932 and 1945 but was unpopular, as changes in the design that made the aircraft much heavier than the original, changing the flight characteristics drastically. Of the 25 delivered aircraft, 18 were w/o and this is the only survivor.

In June 1952, this Försvarets radioanstalt (FRA) DC-3, Sweden's National Defence Radio Establishment, took off on a classiifed flight over the Baltic. It is still unknown if the mission was to spy on the Soviet fleet, or to monitor the Soviet radar stations in the Baltic states. After two hours a distress call was picked up and all contact was lost. In 2003, the wreckage of the DC-3 on the Baltic seabed was found, with bullet holes discovered in both the wings and the fuselage. Russia has since admitted that a MiG-15 shot down the DC-3. The lower floor of the museum is given over to the tragedy.

After serving in the air force and then being owned by several private owners, this Sk5 is last known to have flown around 1940. In 1964 it was discovered stored in a barn in Småland and, after restoration, is now on display at this super museum.

This aircraft was brought to Sweden in 1913 by Skandinaviska Aviatik and very quickly bought by the Navy. It was stationed on the island of Märsgarn, in Gothenburg and finally in Karlskrona before being decomissioned in 1918.

date and location are not certain. This Lansen was retired late 1975 and was destined for the Flyvapenmuseum. So it is very probable that this picture was taken shortly after arrival with the Malmen museum. Confirmation is needed, though.

Delivered to the US 8th Air Force in the UK as a P-51D-NA-20 with the AAF serial number 44-63992 in February 1945. Note the stencil on the fuselage in front of the cockpit giving the original USAAF details including crew weight and type of fuel to use. One of a total of 165 Mustangs to server in the Swedish Air Force, 26020 was delivered to Bromma in April 1945 and then to F 16 Uppsala. To Israel in June 1952 as 2353. Returned to Sweden and the Flygvapenmuseum in 1965. Stored at F 9 Säve outside Gothenburg before displayet at Malmen in 1984.

Built as a B 17B and operated by F7. Converted to S 17BL and flown by F3.
