Down in the Aeroseum today was an unusual sight – the Lansen that arrived in August split open to remove the engine (which still has some flying hours left on it).
1. During the arrival display.
2. Probably its last ever landing.
3. and 4. Front fuselage.
5. and 6. Rear fuselage and tail.
Perhaps these pictures could be useful to modellers?
Anyway, it’s not a sight you see every day!

I’ll be in Sweden from June to Decemeber of next year, just got my research sponsored by the Swedish National Academy of War Sciences, the National Defense College and the former head of the SwAF. Should be a good time! And yes, I will certainly make it out to Goteborg for a tour and will be spending hopefully quite a bit of time in Linkoping, probably get an apartment in Stockholm or Uppsala.

Lansen = The lance, so many lances are “lansar”.
However I am English, so what do I know about the Swedish language? Not much, some of my Swedish-to-English translation clients might say!
Come over to Göteborg and I might be able to give you a personal tour of the Aeroseum, as I am now officially a “probationary guide”.

Tusen Tack Papa.. jag gillar Lansenar! En snyggt flygplan!
(Dont know the pural of Lansen, if it is -en or -ett word.)
Only Lansen I’ve seen in person in one sans wings at the airport outside Visby next to an Aeroflot An-2…

Can anyone tell us if the Hunter split in a similar manner for engine changing?

The work finished today. Now she’s all put together again – minus the engine. An old afterburner were fitted so her looks wouldn’t be ruined.

Some lovely shots there PL, I love to see these type of pictures from an engineering point of view.
To me it’s not just whats on the outside that makes an aircraft interesting.

John.
I agree with everything John has said!
