Dear colleagues !

Excuse me, please, that I write in English - "min Svenska" is poor...

Some sources on the Net mentioned, that two Fokker F-VIIa passenger single-engine aircraft were registered and used in Sweden - SE-AGF and SE-AGH. But I seem, these two airplanes were one aircraft, with different registrations.

My questions are:

1) Is my suggestion about one plane true or false ?
2) What type of engine had those Swedish Fokkers (or Fokker) ?
3) What is known about the probable using of three-engined version of Fokker (F-VIIa-3m or F-VIIb-3m) in Sweden ? Or this version was never used in Swedish aviation ?

Regards,
Tracker.

No problem.

SE-AGF was a DH Moth Major and SE-AGH was Fokker F VIIA 4991. It was powered by a G & R Jupiter VI.

As far as I can remember there was no F VII-3m in Sweden.

Dear sir Lennart A !

(Excuse me, please: I think, You are Lennart Andersson, well-known specialist and great enthusiast of aviation (including some Arabian aviations), and author of row of aviation books, aren't You ?).

Thank You very much for Your answer, and for detailed explanations.

I have taken the information about Fokker SE-AGF from some sites, including Swedish one.
For example, from here:

http://www.goldenyears.ukf.net/reg_SE-.htm - here it mentioned together with SE-AGH.

And from here:

What You think about this ?

Best regards,

Yes, I am Lennart Andersson.

It seems that SE-AGH's history was more complicated than I first thought. It was registered with c/n 4991 in Sweden and its former identity was PH-ADX. PH-ADX/H-NADX was registered in Holland with c/n 1. It had been assembled by KLM and included parts from H-NADH (c/n 4938) and H-NADJ (c/n 4952). C/n 4991 was in fact H-NADQ! That aircraft crashed on 13.7.27 and its parts are said to have been used when building PH-AEP and PH-AET! My guess would have been that the fuselage of H-NADQ (c/n 4991) was in fact used when building H-NADX. The problem is just that H-NADX was registered on 4.6.27, more than a month before the crash of H-NADQ...

What a mixup, and you are right, it was apparently delivered with a registration mark painted on that had already been given to another aircraft (SE-AGF). SE-AGG was reserved for the same owner, but was not used, and it finally became SE-AGH.
