Photo Comment

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...
