ex Fleet Air Arm PP392. Seen during restoration to represent a Danish target tow Firefly in the Danmarks Flymuseum wearing false serial "64-629"

Six converted TT Mk.1s (from Firefly FR1s) were acquired by the Royal Danish AF from 1951 to 1958 to tow aerial targets for live fire exercises by the Army and Navy. Of the six, three crashed and the three remaining were bought by Svensk Flygtjänst AB (Swedish Air Services Ltd.). This Particular Firefly served with the Fleet Air Arm as PP392 and then became SE-CAW with Svensk Flygtjänst (prsumably not one of three originals that came from Denmark) and has been restored in these RDAF markings.
