In service, it soon became apparent to the Flygvapnet that the S 6 was not good enough to serve as a fighter aircraft. The type was instead used for reconnaissance and photography, but also as a trainer and for fire fighting. This S 6B was manufactured under licence by Centrala flygverkastaden Malmslätt in 1934 and was in service for eleven years. It was refurbished to airworthy condition in connection with the 50th anniversary of Swedish military aviation in 1962 and made its final flight at an event in Holland the following year.

Seen here on skis, the C.V was the most succesful military Fokker aircraft of the interwar years. This example was licence-built here at Malmen in 1934.
