EDITORS COMMENTS
A piece of aviation history takes flight once again as a meticulously restored Saab J29 'Flying Barrel' jet aircraft emerges from the workshop at the Edgwick Centre. After a year-long restoration process, this magnificent aircraft is ready to embark on its new journey to the Midland Air Museum at Coventry Airport, Baginton. There, it will find its permanent home in the prestigious Sir Frank Whittle Heritage Centre. Originally entering service in 1951 as part of the Swedish Air Force's air defence squadron stationed in Stockholm, this iconic plane holds significant historical value. Its sleek design and powerful capabilities made it an integral part of Sweden's military aviation during the mid-20th century. Now, on November 12th, 1986, we witness a momentous occasion as this vintage jet prepares for its next chapter. Preserved with utmost care and attention to detail, this print captures not only the physical beauty of the Saab J29 but also pays homage to its legacy within military aviation.
