Hi Mikael,
Many thanks for the info, and for the links to the images. The Sk.14 is looking very nice. Was it being taken straight to the Flygvapenmuseum? Have they already restored the wings for it? From all of the photos that I've seen, I haven't seen the wings anywhere. Hope all is well mate.

Cheers,
Matt

: Last tuesday the SK 14 (RSwAF designation) was rolled out
: from the hangar at Tullinge Airfield (F18) just south of S
: tockholm.
:
: The aircraft is a recreation of the SK 14 (North American
: NA 16-4M) which was bought by Sweden before the war. Unfor
: tunately no example was preserved so Flygvapenmuseum decid
: ed to recreate an example by merging sections from a Canad
: ian built NA-64 Yale and a Australian built NA-32 Wirraway
: and adding some preserved original parts.
:
: The restoration team have made a trip to Honduras to exami
: ne the NA-42 preserved there which is the model which have
: most in common with the Swedish example. During the resto
: ration the team have used drawings sourced in Japan.
