 "Albatross" 1140, a "160-tross" with a 160 hp engine. This aircraft was built in 1921.

 

 

 

 

A SW 12 (manufactured by Södertelge Verkstäder and fitted with a 100 hp Mercedes engine). Södertelge Verkstäder started in July 1915 a flying school of their own at Tvetaberg. Three of the eight SW 12s built were used at this school.

 

 

 

 

One of the four SW 20s built for the Army Aviation company. This variant was powered by a 110 hp Scania-Vabis engine. It is here seen at the Tvetaberg flying school at Lake Lanaren, where SW built a hangar and arranged a simple airfield. Note the flag on the rudder. Yes, it is the Swedish war flag, even if it don't looks like that! The orthochromatic film used at this time made yellow look darker than blue. A flag with correct colours is seen at the corner of the photo.
