Description
Yes, this is still a military HKP 6B.
The navy helicopter Y-45 was retired in 2003, but it had a new life waiting. The helicopter was repainted into the old traditional 60\'s police livery and will be mounted as a \'Gate Guard\' at the new Police Museum in downtown Stockholm (opened in 2007).
Y-45 has been carefully painted as a replica of SE-HPB (the first Jet Ranger of the Swedish Police). It will not be made air worthy. The interior remains in the military manner, but the clothing of the chairs have been changed to red.
