Ambulance Aircraft

In 1925, S 21 #4214 had been based at Boden in the north of Sweden for ambulance transports from remote areas. S 25 #45 got a canopy over the aft cockpit, which was used as room for a stretcher, and became spare ambulance for the Junkers F13 which was stationed at Boden in 1928. Finally, S 25 # 6220 got a heated stretcher space with a high canopy provided with windows (”the Flying Allotment Cottage”). The exhaust pipe was lengthened past the stretcher space. This aircraft was used as a flying ambulace at F 4 at Östersund 1927-1932. 

The photo below shows # 6220 at Malmslätt (F 3) with its characteristic water tower. The aircraft was originally built in the workshops at the same place in 1926.
