Remarkable coincidence

This photo, from page 30 of “”F9 Kungl. Göta Flygflottilj” (one of the authors being an acquaintance of mine, Per Lindquist, aka Pelle polisman”) shows a CR.42 being pulled out from the underground hangar at Säve, Gothenburg.
Here comes the coincidence – that hangar is now the Aeroseum, and I am one of the voluntary guides!
I was also born in the year the picture was taken – spooky!
You learn something every day!

CR.42 Falco

I knew this airframe had a Swedish connection – lo and behold, there were some stationed here in Gothenburg!

Yes, it looks very much like a Catalina bow turret to me too.

Yes it is off a PBY

2. bf 108 (or Nord1002 license built post war in France)

What’s the canopy or turret housing on the shelf behind though? Catalina front turret maybe?
