Hi Tony, thanks for the tip!
I?ve been to the Swedish Air Force Museum a couple of times and have asked the occasional teccie question. They have made the personnel looking strange because they usually don?t have the detail knowledge of things.
Maybe it?s different in British museums, I?ve never tried.
I have been in contact with the RRHT though and my fax message was received by a very friendly Mike Evans.
It was back in 1994 when our airfield had a new paved runway to inaugurate. I wanted to know if it was possible for PS853 to perform in Sweden. The answer was that the aircraft was new to them and overseas ferry flights weren?t considered at that time. RRHT was aware that the PR Mk.19 is significant to Sweden and when operations with their new mount had been securely established he wouldn?t rule out an appearence in Sweden.
Well, in two years it?s the tenth anniversary so maybe I?ll drop him a new request, if he?s still there, that is.
