By sheer coincidence I have just read a review in Aeroplane Monthly of “Faster than the sun” by Peter Twiss, wherein Philip Jarret, the reviewer, says, “I Saw the F.D.2 at my first SBAC Display at Farnborough in 1958, by which time it was wearing a singular overall mauve colour scheme.”
I claim my five pound prize, Albert Ross, you must be Philip Jarrett!

It was spot on for me.
Anyway, Jochen, you are too busy doing research for me to bother about anything else!

The RSwAF 25-year anniversary is celebrated by a flypast over Stockholm Ladugårdsgärde in 1951.

Drama in June 1952 when a DC-3 disappeared, and the searching Catalina was shot down by the Russians in international airspace.

Captain Anders Westerlund set the world 500 km closed circuit record in 1952 with the J 29 Tunnan.

Amazingly accurate!

As a professional translator living in Sweden and a member of the SFF I may be able to help you if you get stuck on Swedish text. I can easily check for material that may be of assistance in the various libraries in Gothenburg too. MikeJ and myself are also discussing another trip to the RSwAF Museum in Linköping, this time to try to gain access to their restoration workshop (is anyone else interested in a trip?). Although that is a slightly different aim, if we do arrange such a trip you may wish to come along to talk to the Museum staff about your project. Last time we drove over from Gothenburg to Linköping and just one overnight stay was required by Mike. Using Ryanair kept his costs down.

How many times do I have to ask for picture resizing to be added to the FAQs?
