I think they are:
Bashful = Blyger
Doc = Kloker
Dopey = Toker
Grumpy = Butter
Happy = Glader
Sleepy = Trötter
Sneezy = Prosit
I hope I am right, as this is a bit of useless information I might need one day, to impress a Swedish blonde fairy princess and sweep her off her feet!

Slightly OT – the SAS FK/flying club aircraft in the 1940s and 50s with names from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

Saab 91A Safir SE-BNM “Snövit” (Snow White)
Piper Cub SE-ASZ “Butter” (Grumpy)
Piper Cub SE-ATH “Trötter” (Sleepy)
Piper Cub SE-ATW “Glader” (Happy)
Piper Cub SE-ATX “Blyger” (Bashful)
Piper Cub SE-ATY “Toker” (Dopey)
Piper Cub SE-ATZ “Kloker” (Doc)
Stinson 108 SE-BCC “Prosit” (Sneezy)
Ercoupe 415 SE-BNB “Prinsen” (The Prince)
Ercoupe 415 SE-BNC “Jägaren” (The Hunter)

SierraEchoFred, you are absolutely correct. The records from the factory shows “12044” to be the aircraft serial number, and this has somehow gotten confused with the fuselage frame number “11871”.

It seems like the Swedish CAA got the constructors number wrong the day SE-AWL was offically registered…and the fuselage number was quoted instead. Not the first time such a thing has happened regarding Cub’s…

I was aware of SE-AWL belonging to the SAS flying club in Stockholm, but I thought they named their Cubs after Snow-Whites seven dwarfs! Kålle Viking is however a much more impressive name. I would be very interested if you have any photos of SE-AWL in earlier costumes!

The idea of dwarf names used on the Cubs of the SAS FK in Stockholm was droped in ca 1957 – the last one was “Butter” (which dwarf this is in English beats me 😮 ), SE-ASZ. The next Cub purchased by the SAS club was SE-AWL, but this was during 1959-60 placed with Aeroklubben i Göteborg for the benifit to used by SAS FK members in Gothenburg. It was then SE-AWL got nicked Kålle Viking.

Scorpion89, it would be great if you could check for 479748 history at the Maxwell archives! Many thanks in advance.

It would mean a lot to me to find out more of SE-AWL´s previous history since my good friend and co-owner of SE-AWL, who was even more interested in aircraft history, unexpectedly passed away this spring. He used to joke that “479748” was the airplane that won the war and he would write a book about it.!

Hans-Uno RIP.

But, if I would now suggest something: If you are to o/h or/and restore the Cub, think about this aircraft genunie history. L-4s in D-day stripes are geting more and more common. Why not preserve a bit of genunie Scania flying history and restore it like a “Ahrenbergare”?

Or like it was with the SAS FK in the picture above?

Greetings from a fellow Cub driver!

Interesting rear glazing you have there, not quite J3 but not L4 either. Some local mod I imagine.

Probably got this mod in the late 50s when SE-AWL was rebuild with a new fuselage.

showing G-AKEX ex LZ791 in the UK, allegedly in 1951 (but was registered SE-BTR in December 1950)

Hi Papa Lima,

I was wrong about the year this pic was taken – must be 1950 (I will correct that). But the Proctor wasn’t reg in Sweden until Oct 1951. The story of 1950-51:

17.02.50 UK CofA issued for G-AKEX.
20.12.50 Bought by Swede Lars-Ove Göransson via Wallis Hole Aviation Ltd. for the sum of £217.
10.01.51 G-AKEX crashed on arrival at Eslöv during the ferry to the new owner.
08.02.51 G-AKEX cancelled. A/c repaired.
10.10.51 Reg as SE-BTR to Lars-Ove Göransson, Malmö.

His real name was Heinrich Wartski and was born in Germany in 1916. He came to the US in the late 1930s.

Warton op under several diffent names, i e North American Aircraft Trading Co and ARCO (Bermuda) in ca 1967-72. The later one was based at Sao Tomé, Basle and Stockholm – here’s a nice caption of VR-BCX t/o from Bromma in 1970: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0107578/L/

I belive Warton op a C-130 in Latin America during the 80s…

Probably – or at least I hope so 😉 – will Daniel upload one or two air to air shots of the Biltema Spitfire taken this afternoon. For the time beeing, here is another pic of the BIRd at ESGE…

G-BXVI was cancelled 29.8.07 and SE-BIR registered 31.8.07. First flight as such 3.9.07. Here is nice pic of SE-BIR taken by Erik Andersson at Ängelholm 5.9.07 🙂
