LOG; Söderhamn F15 Flygmuseum, Saturday 14-08-2010

[Buccaneer S.2B]

Good afternoon,

Saturday the 14th of August 2010 the Söderhamn F15 Flygmuseum (East Sweden, 200km North of Stockholm) was visited.
While on the road to Söderhamn some W&R along the way were grabbed as well......

Bollnäs / Stagarden Kursgard
This city is loacted 40km West of Söderhamn. In the South West part baracks along
a road called Stagarden contain a Draken on a pole, wich can be photgraphed perfectly:
35902 / 12 yellow (FC markings) SAAB S35E Draken (camouflaged)

Söderhamn / E-center
This large shopping mal is located along the E4 highway, and the highway exit to road 304 leading
to Bollnäs. Outside on a pole and again perfect for photographing is:
37031 / 54 red (F15 markings) SAAB AJ37 Viggen (splinter camo)

Söderhamn / F15 Flygmuseum
At the fomer military airfield South of the city this museum can be found, run by
extremely enthousiast volunteers. Beside a nice collection of aircraft the detailed history
of Söderhman airfield can be viewed as well. Really worth a visit, IMHO !
They also have their own website if more information is desired.
Outside were:
03423 / 93 yellow (F16 markings) Hkp3B (Bell204) (camouflaged with dayglow tail)
32530 / 14 yellow (F15 markings) SAAB J32E Lansen (camouflaged)
37009 / 09 yellow (F15 markings) SAAB AJ37 Viggen (grey c/s)
Inside the main hall:
21311 / A red (F15 markings) SAAB J21A-3 (camouflaged)
28391 / I yellow (F15 markings) J28B (DH100 Vampire) (camouflaged)

(37081)/ no code (F15 markings) SAAB AJS37 Viggen (camouflaged, forward fuselage section only)
registration for this one from EMOOS2007, ejection seat showed 37415 !
37805 / 65 red (F15 markings) SAAB Sk37 Viggen (camouflaged)
50006 / 83 yellow (F15 markings) Sk50 (SAAB 91 Safir) (camouflaged)

61015 / 15 yellow (F15 markings) Sk61A (SA Bulldog) (camouflaged, "F15 50 ar" markings. upside down !)
Please note photographing conditions inside are rather poor, outside (ofcourse) not.
The airfield itself should still contain a small civil part (north side), but this wasn't visited. By the way the runway was used for car-racing ! So maybe down and out for this airfield ??

regards,
Remco
