Aircraft built by Aviolanda, but assembled by Fokker and delivered
to Seenotstaffel 9 at Riga as
CM+RY.
October 31st 1944 in service with SeenotGruppe
81 and flown from Nest to Hällevik in Sweden. A full
review of this flight can be found on the stories
page.
January 1945 entered service with the Flygvapnet (Swedish Air
Force) as F2-90 under the designator Tp-24 after the Swedish
Air Force bought the aircraft for 250.000 Kronen. She was to
maintain her old task of search and rescue.
August 24th 1951 put out of service due to lack of parts.The
hull was leaking and they had used parts from the SAAB B17, the
Heinkel He-115 and the fighter J22 to keep it flying! The Air
Force contacted surplus shops in Germany, Norway and Denmark
but didn't find any spare parts so they scrapped it. What I don't
understand is why they didn't turn to Spain or france that still
had the aircraft in service!
1952 scrapped.
