ex WJ900 Varsity T Mk1, delivered to Sweden in 1953, where the air force called it a Tp82. It was the only Tp82 ever used with the Swedish air force. It served until 23 May 1973, when it was retired and showed up with the excellent Flygvapenmuseum collection in November 1979. It has long been on outside display, but more recently it was moved inside.
