Blue1 and predecessor Air Botnia named their aircraft after Finnish lakes. OH-SAX was named Hiidenvesi after the second largest lake in the Uusimaa region in Southern Finland.

Confusingly, Braathens SAFE operated two 737-205s registered LN-SUA. The first was a -205C between 1971 and 1984. The second was a -205 between 1986 and 1993. This is the first of the pair seen in the first 737 livery with the red stripe on the windows. When the -505s arrived, the red stripe was lowered to below the windows.

SE-DUR joined Transwede/Braathens Sweden from Air Littoral in 1997. Braathens had taken over Transwede the year before and changed the name. Another name change came in February 1999 when the airline acquired Malmö Aviation and merging it with Braathens Sweden forming Braathens Malmö Aviation. She is here seen in an interim livery at Jönköping a few months after the merger.

Seen carrying advertising for a magazine, this Moth had an interesting subsequent career. Bought by the Swedish state, it arrived in Svalbard by ship on 2 July 1928 to take part in the rescue efforts following the crash of the airship Italia. Its commander Umberto Nobile had been rescued by a Swedish Fokker C.V, but that plane crashed during its next landing on the survivors' ice floe. Flying the lighter Moth, Birger Schyberg managed to pick up the C.V's pilot, Lt Einar Lundberg. The Moth then served in the Swedish air force until a crash in 1930. After an extensive rebuild it flew as SE-ADZ until 1950.

Putting aircraft on skis in winter was still commonplace in northern countries in the 1930s, and at Västerås - Hässlö, on Lake Mälaren, an ice runway was apparently preferred over a snowy airfield. The Bulldog's serial has a prefix for F1 wing, based at Västerås until 1983. The proper serial 212 is on the tailfin. Photo from: Flygvapenmuseum
