Fred, Hans,
.... does not make any mention of a Viggen from F13 coded 68...
Viggens were recoded quite often when they were transferred from one unit to another. Recoding even occurred within units.
You think F13-68 was a JA model. Any picture is welcome.
I have looked in detail in the database and I have two Viggens which once were coded F13-68.
