Is that what used to be called Okencie when I travelled regularly through 20-30 years ago? It seems to be about the same as it used to be, although the arrival checks during Communist times were the worst!

The second McDonnell XF-85 Goblin of 1948. It only flew 6 times, but the first example of these two aircraft only flew once!
Seen here at the USAF Museum, Wright Patterson, among some other strange aircraft, including my favourite, the XB-70A Valkyrie survivor, under the wing of which stands this Goblin.

Lansen = The lance, so many lances are “lansar”.
However I am English, so what do I know about the Swedish language? Not much, some of my Swedish-to-English translation clients might say!
Come over to Göteborg and I might be able to give you a personal tour of the Aeroseum, as I am now officially a “probationary guide”.

Can anyone tell us if the Hunter split in a similar manner for engine changing?

I see it is said to be in exceptionally good condition, and will eventually go to Herdla museum. Where the heck is that?

Yes, it’s the second prototype Seafang F. Mk 32 (see the “Royal Navy” marking) VB895, admittedly a navalised Spiteful. Griffon 89 engine, contra-rotating propellers and upward folding wings.

Daniel, I really don’t know, but no other parts seemed to be visible in that corner of the museum, so I doubt it.

Tipsy B SE-AGP was taken off the register on 29 October 1967 and was placed in the museum in 1965.

Tipsy S.2 SE-AFT was taken off the register on 31 December 1951.

Make a sensible offer for it, Daz, and she will!

Post #3 with help from a French-English dictionary should be sufficient. I would do it myself if I wasn’t so busy with paid-for translations!

The MB.4 was abandoned at the design stage soon after the tragic death of Capt. Val Baker in the MB.3 on 12 September 1942.
