A Canadian-Vickers built Canso, a license-built Catalina, was obtained by Sweden on 28 June 1949. It wassigned to F2 at Hägernäs, which was responsible for the air rescue service of the Swedish Air Force. In 1960, the Catalina would be taken out of service, but 47001 soldiered on until 1966. Its last flight was on 1 August 1966, to Malmen, where it joined the collection of the excellent Flygvapenmuseum.
