Old jet at South Wales factory

Saab J 35-2 #35515!

It was delivered to Irvin-GQ at Liangenoir, Bridgend, in 2003. Here is a link to a picture of 35515, still in service with 2.Sqn. of F 10 in early 1988:

And the UKAR site is just superb especially when you live away from most of the action.

For a treat look at the “Golden oldies” bit. Some briliant pictures that remind us that we are all getting old!!!

Thanks for the info, does anyone have any photo’s of this Draken they could post here please ?

I think you mean the ex Swedish J35 Draken (not Viggen) that came through Immingham docks several years ago.

Its kept at Irvin’s parachute factory.

Could be the Swedish AF Viggen that is outside a factory near Bridgend. I believe the company manufacture something that is used by the Swedish Air Force, and they donated a Viggen on its retirement.
