    I made my avatar out of this picture, a flight of Norwegian Naval Air Service Hansa-Brandenburgers ( around 1920 ) which I felt reflected both my nationality and my main field of interest in aviation history :

    Thanks for the link and another picture I haven´t seen before. I´m not residing in Sweden btw, but in Norway. Bergen to be exact ( the wrong side of Norway ). I appreciate you offering to lend me some of your books. It´s a long way to Göteborg though ( a lovely city btw ). But I´ll happily take any recommendation you, or anyone else, have on books dealing with military aircraft ( of all nationalities ) produced and in service during the inter-war years.

    🙂

    Thanks for your book recommendation Anne, I´ll try to get my hands on that one as soon as possible.

    And thanks for the great picture Papa Lima ( and sorry about accusing you of being Swedish btw ). It´s a 25th Sqn Grebe isn´t it ? I know the stripes along the fuselage are black, but do you happen to know the colour used on the area around the cockpit ?

    🙂

    Thanks Papa Lima,

    I notice you´re Swedish. You wouldn´t have any books on Swedish pre-WWII aircraft / aircraft production to recommend btw ? They don´t have to be in English, I have no trouble reading Swedish.

    Das Model the way Rammstein does it ( it was originally written and performed by Kraftwerk ). Rammsteins version of Stripped ( Depeche Mode ) is pretty cool as well.

    Thank you for your replies Gentlemen,

    I wonder what happened to the four aircraft delivered to the Norwegians though ?

    It has been suggested to me that they were grounded soon after their service entry. Apparently because they were considered too dangerous to fly by their pilots.

    Besides English food…

    Squirrel droppings I think…

    Yeah, they were nasty. Looked tasty though.

    Well, it´s Malmsteen actually ( Malmstein sounds a bit too Teutonic don´t you think ? ).

    But thank you anyway, you are very kind.
