Photo Comment

Compare this with MM5701, preserved in the RAF Museum. This was one of 72 aircraft supplied to the Swedish Airforce. It crashed in Northern Sweden killing the pilot. The wreckage was recovered in 1983 and acquired by the Fighter Collection in 1995. A painstaking restoration is taking place to return it to the air when it will surely be an incredible sight.
