Description

This is NOT the aircraft that it looks like (SE-HPB). It is in fact the retired military navy helicopter 06045 (Y-45).

The helicopter (Y-45) was retired as a military HKP 6B in 2003 and was then repainted as a replica of the police\'s first Jet Ranger (SE-HPB). The mockup work was made by Patria Helicopters at Arlanda Airport in 2005.

The aircraft serves as a \'Gate Guard\' at the new Police Museum in downtown Stockholm (opened in 2007). The original SE-HPB was exported to New Zealand in 1995 and crashed in 2002.
