I removed the reg on the fin, maybe thats why it looks different, but according to my files, its the RearWin Cloudster. Good job, you have control!

It has a very characteristic windscreen, and I remembered seeing it before…had to research to get the make and model.

Lets try this one then…

Thats one I would never have guessed. Although it has a slightly Wilga/Dornier 27 feel to the windscreen/cockpit area. But I was nowhere near. Well done JA.

i found a link to a number of pics (once JA had identified it).

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.

I have been keeping an eye on this bird since it appeared on Courtesy’s website. Nice to hear it finally moved.

When paying $30.000 for a Hunter; surely its with restoration/airworthiness in mind, or would a museum pay this for a static Hunter (or an operator for parts)?

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.

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.

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

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?

both Finland and Denmark have an airworthy Fouga CM.170 Magister.

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

Yes, it does look like a “new” tail pipe.

It will be nice to have a P-40E in this part of the world.

There was not much left of it was there?
