Does the ex RAF aircraft still fly in Sweden?

SE-BKH, ex XK 884, is owned and operated by Flygexpo. It is based at Västerås/Hässlö but is currently parked at Eskilstuna/Kjula.

SE-BKH is painted as “Helge 87” – a Tp 83 Pembroke operated by the transport squadron of F 8 Wing at Barkarby in the early 1970s.

Shame. This DC-7C should have been preserved in a museum. In the late 1968-69 it was used by ARCO (Bermuda) in the Biafra airlift as D-ABAC and VR-BCW.

ARCO (Bermuda) was a company conected to the famus Hank Warton. After been kicked out from the Biafra run Warton and ARCO’s DC-7s stood parked at Basle. When the Red Cross airlift to Biafra was closed down in the summer of 1969 former crews flying for Swedecross – many in fact earlier employed by ARCO – joined ARCO and ops were restarted. Bases were Basle and Stockholm/Bromma. Half a dozen flight were made to El Salvador and Honduras in conection to the soccer war that summer…

Ops continued until 1971 when Hank Warton decided to get out of Europe.

Saab J 35-2 #35515!

It was delivered to Irvin-GQ at Liangenoir, Bridgend, in 2003. Here is a link to a picture of 35515, still in service with 2.Sqn. of F 10 in early 1988:

Thoose were the days… 😀

32502: This was used mainly by Saab for ejection seat trials in conection with the development of the Draken and Viggen. This a/c did it last flight 11.6.81, TT399 hrs.

CCCP-70501: This An-2 ditched off the coast of Eastern Gotland on 27.5.87 (Just as Mattias Rust was flying in the oposite direction.) It was flown by a sole pilot who had t/o from Saldu in Latvia and wanted to defect. The Russians didn’t want to take care of the salvaged Colt so they sold it to the Kåremo collection. It was in ca 1998 handed over to the Gotlands flygmuseum. TT 4211 hrs.

Centurion: 200 of these were bought in the late 50s by the Swedish Army and served until the early 90s. I belive a number of them were used on Gotland by the regiment P 18. This unit was disbanded a few years back.

One is F-86D-36NA RDAF serial F-984, ex 51-5984, (del’d 27.7.58) used by ESK 726/723/728 and wfu on 31.3.66.

Three Danish F-86Ds were after been retiered sent to Kjevik in Norway and used for battle damage repair. These were F-500/51-8500, F-977/51-5977 and…F-984/51-5984!

The other one would probably be either F-500 or F-977…
