  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.
