Reading that Spitfire SM845 has been sold to Norway, I was wondering about the current size of the Scandinavian vintage aircraft circuit.
There has been quite a few acquisitions the last couple of years, so a maybe its time to keep tally on registered vintage aircraft (not static display museum aircraft, but aircraft that theoretically could participate in a Scandinavian wide airshow).
I will use this top post to keep a list and edit it as people post new aircrafts. Please feel free to post images as well as “dry” numbers and registrations.
Please note that this list is growing as information is posted.

Duxford is a great place to visit. Been there twice; once a cold winters day, with no people around, and a second time during an airshow.
Like you I remember seeing WWII veterans. In particular one wearing a “Who dares wins” patch on his baret, passing me as I walked by the Lysander. I just thought: man, he must have some stories.
By: topspeed - 30th January 2009 at 13:32
Yes, its a prerequisite 😀
Quite so.
I was walking and wondering all the flyable planes in several Duxford hangar this spring…and I was impressed. Bearcat, Spitfires of several sort and even an SR-71 ( perhaps not flyable ) in the USAF Museum. All this resulted me of my toe nails to drop…they luckily grew back.
There was also a Dh-89 Dragon Rapide flying above London and I saw the same plane in Duxford. How many of those fly in UK ? Overall ?
I also saw in the coffee shop a distinguished looking WW II veteran whom I did not know. It was funny though I had a pilot type flying leather jacket on and he greeted me with a smile as if he knew me. I felt very good about it. Maybe my 1/12 scale combat flying makes me a 1/12 of a real pilot.
In Cambridge I ate a big beefy steak, then we drove back to Northwood. I love England.
rgds,
Juke

I agree but it might be of some help. :rolleyes:

BTW as an aircraft mechanic I can attest, that running an engine does not make a bird fly :p

Also is the Swedish Percival Pembroke still flying?
SE-BKH is not currently airworthy but I guess the ambition is to have it back in the air later on this year.
Counting types you said. Ok, here another one: PO-2 (CSS-13), SE-XPP
By: Mondariz - 29th January 2009 at 19:50
On SwAF mil reg are one J 35J Draken and 2-3 J 32 Lansen op by the SwAFHF. These are the ones missing on the list.
On civilian SE-reg are one Vampire T.55, the J 29F Tunnan, a Hunter F58 (owned by Ellingsen in Norway) and a AT-16/Harvard IIb/Sk 16A operated (+ one Saab 91B Safir and a SK 61 Bulldog, these I didn’t included in my earlier listing)
Ok, I have added the Draken and the Lansen. As far as I can see, the Tunnan, Vampire, Harvard, Safir and Hunter are already listed. At the moment we are just counting types and not listing individual aircraft.
By: SierraEchoFred - 29th January 2009 at 18:47
Would someone check the Swedish air force historic flight and see what aircraft is missing on the list?
I assume the listed Hawker Hunter and DH Vampire are from that flight. Also is the Swedish Percival Pembroke still flying?

Ok I understand this, but..
We have also an Airacobra and few Me-109s ( ..and whole bunch of Vampires, Mig-15s and Fokker D XXI etc in museums ) of which one was engine runned last time in 1978…I bet you could make a flying one out of that.
Its possible to restore many museum aircraft, but I think we should keep this thread focused on aircraft that already fly (even if they might be temporarily stored for sale, insurance, ect) . I also think we should disregard projects, such as the P-40E mentioned earlier (this does not mean that I’m not thrilled to hear about its progress).
Maybe later we could make a thread about Scandinavian museum aircraft.

The Denmark Fouga is OY-FGA
By: Martti Kujansuu - 29th January 2009 at 15:05
both Finland and Denmark have an airworthy Fouga CM.170 Magister.
Finland has two (OH-FMA & OH-FMM) but they were built in 1962 and 1963 so they were not in my original list.

I stuck then on the list, as the Fouga itself is from 1956..

I translated their web site into English some months ago, but it still hasn’t appeared on the Internet. Strange . . .
Not like this I hope:

Updated with latest data.
Here is the Swedish A-26 N167B in all its glory.
You do of course mean the Norwegian A-26…

It will be nice to have a P-40E in this part of the world.
There was not much left of it was there?
