Sitting pretty at the Fallskärmsjägarskolans veteranklubb (parachutist veteran's club), this C-47 was built as 42-32877 and during WWII participated in D-day. It was sold to Sweden after the war and as SE-APW with Svensk Interkontinental Lufttrafik (SILA), which merged into SAS. It wsa operated by the Swedish Air Force until 1983, and went to the Motormuseum in Skokloster the year after. It moved Karlsborg in May 2009.
