Airworthy Tiger Moth swapped for Stieglitz project

摘要

Swedish historic aviation enthusiasts Niclas Amren and Stefan Sonestedt have traded aeroplanes with each other. In exchange for airworthy de Havilland Tiger Moth SE-COY, Niclas has obtained part-restored Focke-Wulf Fw 44J Stieglitz SE-BXI from Stefan. The Tiger Moth was built in 1942 and delivered to the RAF as DF133. It flew on the British civil register as G-ANDN before arriving in Sweden during November 1960. The Stieglitz was built under licence by CVV at Vaesteras, before being taken on by the Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force) on July 31,1939. After post-war use as a trainer and glider tug, it was retired from flight in 1965. No date has been set for its completion to airworthiness.
