SE-DGF Linjeflyg Fokker F-28-4000 arrives at Stockholm Bromma

My grand Scandinavian Aviation Tour 1982
After missing the majority of Linjeflyg F-28s on their early morning Sunday visits to Stansted, I made sure I visited Bromma airport when in Stockholm in 1982 for a 'Linjeflyg fest'.

A nice angle on Linjeflyg Fokker F-28-4000 SE-DGF taxiing to the stand at Stockholm Bromma.

SE-DGF c/n 11115 - Fokker F-28-4000 - was delivered new to Linjeflyg at the end of 1976, and flew with them until the airline merged with SAS in 1993. The aircraft was sold to Intensive Air Pty as ZS-XGX in 1999, and was leased to Air Express, AirQuarius Aviation, and Royal Jordanian Airlines, before ending its flying life of 30+ years in 2007, being broken up at Lanseria.

'During the 1930s the need for a proper airport for Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden, became urgent. Bromma Airport was opened on 23 May 1936 by King Gustav V, and was the first airport in Europe to have paved runways from the start. During World War II Swedish and British aircraft flew to the United Kingdom from Bromma Airport. Since these flights sometimes carried Norwegian and Danish refugees the airport became of interest for German spies, and two Swedish Douglas DC-3s that had taken off from Bromma were shot down by the Germans during the war. After the war the airport flourished, two noted airlines that operated from the airport were Aktiebolaget Aerotransport (ABA) which subsequently became the Swedish partner in Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) and Linjeflyg (the Swedish main domestic airline which was later acquired by SAS). However the runway of Bromma was too short for the jet age and for intercontinental traffic in the 1960s (e.g. DC-8), and therefore Stockholm Arlanda Airport was built.'
