Ten Raab-Katzenstein RK-26 Tigerschwalbe aircraft, manufactured as the Sk 10 by ASJA (AB Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning) for the Swedish Air Force (Svenska Flygvapnet), lined up at Varberg. The Sk 10 (RK-26) was derived from the German Fieseler F1 Tigerschwalbe. ASJA would build 25 of these aircraft for the Flygvapnet. Aircraft were first delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1933 and the type operated in the trainer and utility role until the aircraft was retired in December 1945.

TVL1970 Thanks a lot for helping us identify the planes, and for giving us some interesting aircraft history! I have added the information to the image here on Flickr Commons, and to the image in our photo database. /Anna B.

Not quite This is the Viggen wooden mock up ( hence the 0) and my bet it is on the press day April 4th, 1965. The true prototype (37-1) was not rolled out until Nov 24th 1966. Stig

The Seversky P-35A was produced in several variants, including the EP-106, 60 of which were delivered to Sweden as J 9's. They served through the war and were finally retired around 1952. Few of the ~120 produced still exist, but the only one flying is an AT-12 [NX55539] with the Planes of Fame collection in Chino, CA.
