This Tunnan is an unarmed reconnaissance version with seven cameras and a rear warning system to detect attacks from behind. The aircraft was delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1956 and served for the next ten years. The Target Flight Division then used the aircraft at F 3 Malmen until 1970 before it became part of the aviation history collections that laid the foundation for the Flygvapenmuseum. Note the code 21-20 is fake.

The Swedish Air Force purchased two NA-16 aircraft, to be used as pattern aircraft for license production by AJSA (later Saab). They served as trainers with F5 at Ljungbyhed and were given the designation Sk14. No Sk14s survive, and this example is a replica built by enthusiasts of the Svensk Flyhistorik Förening, the propeller, landing gear and tires are from different, original aircraft, the rear fuselage and wingtips come from an RAAF Wirraway and most other parts originate from a Canadian Yale. The remaining details were finished according to original drawings. A true composite aircraft!

The Ju86 was the most important Swedish bomber during WW II. Forty of these aircraft were ordered from Germany in 1936, before license production in Sweden started. Serial 155 was built in Germany in 1938 and delivered to F1 in June 1938. During its last years of service it was used as a transport aircraft with F21. On 3 June 1958, it made its last flight, completing 2086 hours. This example is the only Ju86 left in the world.

Two Canberras were acquired by the Swedish Air Force from the RAF and these were modified to Canberra T.11 by Boulton Paul. After delivery, both aircraft were secretly modified in Sweden for eavesdropping on primarily Soviet, Polish, and East German military radio transmissions. The Canberras were given the designation Tp52, and taken into service as test aircraft, until they were replaced by two Tp85 Caravelles in 1971. Serial 52002 was flown to Malmen into retirement on 25 January 1973.

Saab J21A 21364 was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in August 1948. With its highly characteristic shape, it was one of the first types of aircraft delivered with an ejection seat. Its service life was cut short, when jet fighters became available in large numbers, and by 1954 serial 21364 was already retired and moved to the flight historical collection, which became the excellent Flygvapenmuseum.

When the Swedish Air Force was created in 1926, this type became its first fighter (J1), having been acquired by the army from 1919. Serial 947 was one of the first purchased from Austria for the army, ahead of license-construction in Sweden. It was retired in 1928 and given to the car of the flight historical collection at Malmen, which evolved into the Flygvapenmuseum.

With the threat of war looming over Europe in 1939, Sweden sought to buy fighter aircraft and found Italy willing to deliver the Reggiane 2000, designated J20 by the Swedish Air Force. All 60 operated from Bulltofta near Malmö, to strengthen air defence over South Sweden and often escorted foreign aircraft seeking refuge in Sweden during WW II. Serial 2340 was delivered in August 1942 and withdrawn from use when the war ended, in 1945. Of the two surviving Re2000s in the world, this is the only one that is complete.

An original Bückers-built Bü-181B-1 was acquired by Sweden during WW II to serve as a test and pattern aircraft for license construction by Hägglunds. Ex D-EXWB, it was delivered via Warnemünde and Bulltofta on 29 June 1942, and was first allocated serial 25001. This later changed to 25000, as the license built aircraft were 25001-25120. The type was designated Sk25 with the Swedish Air Force. In 1954, with 943 hours, it was retired.

The Swedish Air Force operated a total of 26 S14s, or Fi-156 Storch, some of which landed in Sweden with refugees on board during WW II and were put into service. The aircraft served in various missions, with or without skis. After their retirement in 1961, all were sold to Austria and Germany, where some are still privately flown today. In 1967, this example was traced, bought back and restored at Malmen for preservation in the Flygvapenmuseum.

In November 1958, this Vertol 44A, the predecessor of the Piasecki H-21 Workhorse, was acquired by the Swedish Navy and designated Hkp1, for helicopter 1, the first type of helicopter in use by the Swedish armed forces. It served at Bromma, later at Torslanda and Berga, until 1971 when it was retired and flown to Malmen, with 3094 hours. The Hkp 1 was succeeded by the Hkp4. In May 1989, serial 01001 was first reported with the Flygvapenmuseum.

The only example of a Macchi M7 preserved in the world, the type was developed in Italy during WW I and used for naval operations. After the war, in 1921, four used examples were delivered to Sweden and served near Linköping from lake Roxen en near Karlsborg from lake Vättern. They were kept in tent hangars, which resulted in the wooden hull never being fully dry. Rot arose and all four were disposed in 1923-1924. It was formerly put on display as 945, but this serial proved to be false.

The excellent Flygvapenmuseum in Malmen has this J22, of only three complete survivors of the FFVS J22s in its collection. The FFVS J22 was a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Swedish Air Force during World War II. It was accepted into service on 26 May 1945, and is known to have served with F8 and F3, the latter's markings it still wears when this picture was taken in August 2019.

Acquired by the museum in 1987, this former Polish Air Force MiG-15bis (Lim-2), their serial 25, has been put on display to commemorate an event during the Cold War, when a Soviet MiG-15 shot down a Swedish intelligence gathering Tp79, 79001 (C-47), the wreck of which is also on display. The MiG-15 was previously falsely marked as 24 yellow.
