Re: Last Do 24s from Aviolanda/Fokker and SNCAN
Unfortunately ther appendices would have contained the wanted info.
According to the report the last Do 24 produced by Aviolanda would have been WNr 3434 VH+JM which operated with SNSta 81 and ended as AirMin 116 (VN879). Thanks a lot for your efforts. Regards RolandF |

Re: Last Do 24s from Aviolanda/Fokker and SNCAN
I can confirm from documents located in the Swedish Krigsarkivet that Sweden indeed tried to source spare parts abroad for the Do 24 but failed to do that succesfully. My own speculation is that they only tried neighbouring countries e.g. Norway and Denmark and likely did not venture to France or Spain in their endeavours. With no internet etc. they might not even have been aware of which countries were operating the type.
Flygvapnet kept the aircraft operational for some time using parts which they adapted from other aircraft like the SAAB B 17. For obvious reasons that was not an option in the long run and it was scrapped. |
