The Flygvapenmuseum's TP 47 was manufactured in 1943 under license in Canada. It was the first of the three aircraft to arrive in Sweden and was stationed at F 2 Hägernäs from 1949. The Flygvapnet retired the aircraft after almost 20 years, with a total flight time of 6,000 hours, and designated it for preservation. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
