An extraordinary feature of the expanded Flygvapenmuseum, opened on 12.6.10, are these Dakota remains. On 13.6.52, exactly 48 years before this photo, it was shot down over the Baltic by Soviet fighters while on a secret ELINT mission, checking installations in what are now Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Two Catalinas deployed on SAR after the incident were also attacked by Mig-15s. The Soviets denied the shoot-down till 1991 and the wreckage was not found until 2003

This is the 440 which famously became G-CONV but failed UK certification with Air Atlantique and is now preserved in Scotland. Originally flown by Mohawk and later Wright, Key and Basler. Became CS-TML with Agroar in 5.97 and first operated by Air Atlantique under that identity in early 2001 before British registration

Originally a National Airlines aircraft, this DC-6 was acquired by International Freight Airways as OO-IFA in 3.77 from Air Djibouti. Next briefly registered N779TA and 9J-AEP, she passed into private hands as N84AU before finding her way to South Africa, eventually being broken up at Lanseria in 11.90. The nose section was saved for the SAA Museum

Lovely line-up of propliners. Behind are Convairs from Aero B Venezuela and LAGE. The Air-Sea Convair served with them as HB-IMU, having been sold to Altas Corp in Sep 1980 and stored at Miami, still in Air-Sea colours. Sold to Mexico in May 1981 and seen still in service in the late 1990s with AeroCedros at Ensenada as XA-RYV. Wfu and scrapped in the early 2000s.

Now that is one sharp looking Convair. Sold by Sierra Pacific to Laredo Air in 1.91 but remained stored and broken up a few years later. Began life as a United CV-340 in 1952, to Frontier in 1963 and converted two years later

Most of the helicopters in this hangar are too tight for a proper photo but fortunately this beautifully presented Whirlwind is well positioned at the end of the row. Four of these Westland-built machines were flown alongside about 20 Sikorsky H-19s with the Air Force and Navy

The real C.8-15 was passed to the Turkish AF after Spanish service. Looking quite convincing, this one is really WGAF 26+23 (built by SABCA) and is marked as such on the other side
