A rather strange inhabitant of the general aviation airfield at Skå-Edeby, West of Stockholm, is this forlorn Antonov An-2. It came to Sweden from Lithuania in 1994, its CoFA already expired in 2001. Abandoned at Skå-Edeby ever since, it sat there for many years until someone reported the aircraft as 'found' to the police, since no-one claimed it, the aircraft became the property of the person who found it. However, nothing changed, it still sits where it was left abandoned. It was painted to resemble an RAF Westland Lysander...

This An-2 was originally registered to the Lithuanian directorate of Aeroflot as CCCP-84637 in April 1981. The plane became LY-AER in January 1992 and was used for the next years as a parachute jump ship until the CoA expired in May 2001. The plane is now preserved (stored?) at ESSE and, apparently, painted to resemble a Westland 'Lysander'.
