Two modified Canberra B.2s were delivered to Sweden's F8 wing at Stockholm - Barkaby in 1960. This one was mainly a research platform but the other, like the Varsity on the right, was used for electronic intelligence work. Both Canberras also undertook missions to test the alertness of the Swedish air defences, popping up after extremely low flying over the Baltic.

The J21A, the first of the impressive lineage of Saab fighters. Because of its pusher propeller configuration it pioneered an ejection seat, and stands very tall. It was developed into the J21R jet.

One of the last biplane fighters. What a stunner.

Sweden built 661 Saab J29s for its air force, but although the Tunnan was a good fighter, 120 examples of the slightly more advanced Hunter were added as high-altitude interceptors from 1955.

Formerly SE-ILL. Sold to Spain in 2013. Seen at Jersey in July 2016 'on delivery back to Sweden'.

Designated Sk14 in Sweden, the NA-16 advanced trainer was the progenitor of the famous AT-6 Texan / Harvard - note smaller engine, mixed construction and rounded rudder. Landing gear was fixed. This is an impressive reconstruction from an Australian CA-7 Wirraway, A20-223, and a Canadian NA-64 Yale.

This is what you get when you leave a Fw 190 and a Hellcat together in a hangar all night.

Although wearing Finnish contemporary markings - which had nothing to do with the Nazis - it was actually a Swedish air force unit which fought the Russians from Kemi in northern Finland during the final two months of the 1939-40 Winter War. It had twelve Gladiator fighters and four Hart light bombers with open cockpits. Swedish Harts were all powered by Mercury radial engines. Note the skis carried for use by the crew in an emergency. This airframe did not actualy serve in Finland.
