Here in Sweden we used to have that type used as a dive bomber in the RSWAF during the 1940's.
It was manufactured under license by ASJA(later SAAB)
Unfortunately all of them was scrapped or crashed.
We are trying to recreate or collect every useful part of the type that remains here in Sweden to make an exhibition of the type at a museum here, by using both recovered crash sites material and some unused/used/surviving parts.
The type was also used in the Netherlands and ?
Well,the question is if anyone could give us any lead of any surviving parts of the type that we could obtain....
Everything is useful.
It's engine was Mercury 24,980 hp with three-bladed prop.
So please take a deep look in the sheds and help us up here?
