One of the first two military aircraft in Sweden, the other one being a Nieuport. The Breguet was known as B1 in Sweden. They were based in Axvall, at an army exercise range and 1913 the first airfield was established in Malmen. In 1915, the Breguet was involved in an accident and could not be repaired. In 1977, a group beloning to the Swedish Flight-historical society decided to build this replica. The engine, tail assembly and radiator were taken from the original aircraft. In 1989, when the project was finished, the aircraft was handed over to the Flygvapenmuseum. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
