On their way to and from the Farnborough air show the Swedish Navy made a fuel stop at Eelde.

The Försvarsmakten (Swedish defense forces) bought 22 Vertol 107s in 1963 for both the Flygvapnet (designated HKP 4A) and Marinen (4B and 4C).This particular 4B served at Berga and was mainly used for submarine hunting, minesweeping and various rescue missions. It was manufactured in 1959 as a prototype and came to Sweden in 1970 as a replacement and, as a result, has square windows on each side rather than all other HKP 4s with round windows. This helicopter rescued survivors from the Estonia ferry disaster and was handed over to the Flygvapenmuseum in 2011 after serving for 40 years.

There are two different versions that ended up with this Hkp1 being scrapped at ESGP. The first is that in 1971 the helicopter made an emergency landing in the sea outside Grebbestad because a crack in the exhaust system released exhaust gases into the air intake. The frame was subsequently discarded due to corrosion damage. The other version is that after the filming of the film "Marine's Wings" it had an engine failure and made an emergency landing in the ice forest at Värmdö, ending up on its side. The cockpit was initially preserved at the Naval Museum in Karlskrona but is now at Aeroseum.

This aircraft served with the Swedish Navy from 1917 to 1922. In the 1930s the plane was dismantled and placed into storage. For the reopening of the Flygvapenmuseum in 2010 the plane was re-assembled for display.

This aircraft was brought to Sweden in 1913 by Skandinaviska Aviatik and very quickly bought by the Navy. It was stationed on the island of Märsgarn, in Gothenburg and finally in Karlskrona before being decomissioned in 1918.

The Nyrop Monoplane was basically a copy of the Bleriot XI-2bis. In 1911 it was the first aircraft to serve with the Swedish military as Aeroplanet 1. It was to be used for coastal observation with the Swedish navy, but proved difficult to fly. Therefore the engine was used in another aircraft and the Monoplane was stored. Fortunately this historic aircraft survived and is now on view in the Flygvapenmuseum.
