Swedish Air Force Torpedo Bomber SAAB T 18B of Wing F 17 at Kallinge / Ronneby.
  A T 18B marked with "17" on the fuselage as for F 17. No code letter can be seen on the tail fins neither on his aircraft, nor on the one in the background. One possible explanation is that they are just delivered to the unit.  
 
 
 
  None of the about 250 manufactured SAAB 18 of different versions was saved to the future. This B 18B, # 18172, that had made a forced landing on the sea ice outside Härnösand in 1946, was salvaged in 1979. It is now under restoration at one of the exhibitions halls of Flygvapenmuseum (the Swedish Air Force Museum) at Linköping.
