Vasteras flygmuseum-any info anyone?

Here are individual shots of the two Viggens that you enquired about:

I photographed everything that was there in August – anything in particular you’d like me to post a view of ? Here’s an overview with the ex RAF Pembroke in the foregound – you’ll see the TWO Viggens are in the very rear of shot – one Viggen is part sectioned to show its construction.

You’ll find my Miles Falcon G-AEEG in pride of place in the museum. I plan to go and get it in the Spring.

The Falcon has a very important Swedish history, from 1936-1961. It was based at Vasteras for while during WW2 as a ‘light transport’ which is code for ‘officers plaything’ if the stories are true!

It is therefore spending its 70th year at ‘home’.

Enjoy your visit to the Museum – see if you can get to grips with that ruddy model plane simulator there…..!

All the best

There were still two Viggens there when I visited in June 2006.

Could anyone confirm the number of Viggens on display at the Museum please. At the time of my last visit there were 2 including the 2nd Prototype. The website now only shows one.

Any news on this years airshow date as well as Satenas’ would be most welcome also.

Just to update above, i may also be visiting Arlanda. According to various net sources the museum is closed until further notice. Is this still true?
