The FFVS J 22 was a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Flygvapnet during WWII. The first prototype J 22 made its maiden flight in September 1942 from Bromma airport and a total of 198 were built. The type was capable, well-liked by its pilots and possessed good manoeuvrability and responsive controls at lower altitudes but became sluggish above 20,000 ft because it lacked a supercharger. This is one of the five survivng examples.

Former RAF and RNZAF Mosquito that had become derelict in California during the 70s has been restored by Avspecs Ltd of Auckland, NZ. First post restoration flight on January 13, 2019 in New Zealand, the aircraft was dismantled and shipped to it's new Texas home. It is one of only four airworthy Mosquitos at the time of uploading.

Developed in Sweden during WWII when buying foreign aircraft had become impossible, the J22 was a fine fighter limited by its copied R-1830 Twin Wasp engine. Photographed with my tripod placed on one of the tables put up here for a dinner - many thanks to the Flygvapenmuseum staff for their tolerance!

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