    Many happy returns, Mike!
    See you at Cleveland or Reno in September perhaps?

    robmac, please accept my thanks and admiration for a great museum and a lot of hard work by the volunteers, I only wish I could visit it more often.

    Hi Entropy – what about the frog dance? “Små grodorna” that’s the only one I know!
    Yes, I am still in Gothenburg but mobile nowadays thanks to my little Mazda MX5 sports car.

    A quick look at this official Swedish Defence Ministry web site:
    http://www.hkpflj.mil.se/article.php?id=11706
    reveals that from 2012 onwards Sweden plans to rely on the following helicopters:
    HKP 10 = Super Puma
    HKP 14 = NH90
    HKP 15 = Agusta A 109-E
    Details of these are also included in the Swedish version of that web site. Unfortunately I am too busy translating for a living to translate it all for you!

    As I feared, the photographs came out in the wrong order – but it’ll be a challenge for readers to see which is which!
    As it’s not the first time this has happened to me when posting pictures, is this a flaw in the otherwise excellent Flypast Forum management program? If so, I hope it can be fixed!

    Correct, Arthur, I put up a whole thread on the Air show forum (although I only saw 2/3 of it – the amount of traffic frightened me into driving home to Göteborg before the Gripens, etc. displayed).

    Old and new at F7 Såtenäs

    A few more :
    1. The Swiss team (although I missed their display by leaving early to miss the mad traffic scramble)
    2. One of the Breitling team, who put on their usual excellent display – seen them before at La Ferte Alais and Duxford, but it rained so much on both those occasions, this was the first time I had seen their full display – very impressive.
    3. There is a rumour that the Swedes are going to buy a few C-17s – the Americans brought one with a couple of tanks to show they can really take the strain.
    4. A C-130 showing the flag.
    5. The venerable Sk 16 (AT-16) still flies . . .
    6-9 as do many Tiger Moths up here in Scandinavia.

    Thanks for those, Robban, I took a look at the queue of cars still waiting to get in halfway through and left early!

    Also note that it cost nothing to get into this magnificent airshow!
    Mind you, with Swedish tax being what it is, I have probably already paid 100 times the Duxford Legends price for it!
    Strangely, the forthcoming show at Kristianstad (near Malmö) does have a price tag – adults SEK 120, about 8 pounds 30 in UK money. It’ll cost me twice that in petrol to get there!

    Thanks Anna! The last aircraft I worked on was the Tornado that is now in the museum at Cosford – where I should be, apparently! Now I’m in a 1950s time-warp.
