S 26 Mustang #26084

It’s a SwAF recce-Mustang, FV-serial 26084, which crashed in the early 1950s and was salvaged in the 90s. After restoration 26084 will be put on display at the F 21 Museum, Luleå/Kallax AB.

A Danish Hornet Moth, OY-DOK, was used for an escape to UK on 21.6.41. The a/c was later used by the RAF as HM498.

Anyone know what the blades on the Venom in the last set are?

The blades are antennas and reflectors for IFF and Navaid.

Please note that the red/white Iranian a/c is a Pakistan-built PAC MFI-17 Mushshak.

It used a RM6B Swedish licence build Avon 200 with their own design afterburner. I don’t think a British Avon would do the job.

A 32A Lansen 32028/G-BMSG is fitted with a RM5A (RR Avon RA 21).

No I stupidly did not take any photos that day. The only photo I have is one that someone sent me, but of the camouflaged TWs in the hangar.

I would be delighted if you could perhaps scan that pic and send it over 🙂

PM on its way.

When 4X-AIM was registered in Sweden as SE-BKG in 1987 the SwAF id no. 26158 was found stamped on several positions in the airframe + SwAF data plate located in the tail. And 26158 was the former 44-63864……..
