SE-HEF

This photo was taken during a refuelling break at the airport in Jönköping during a flight from Stockholm/Barkarby to Gothenburg/Torslanda.

Early the next morning the pilot, Mr Egon Sidelöv, flew to Falkenberg to pick up two engineers from the Swedish Maritime Administration. The engineers were flown to the Danish island Anholt, where they carried out some maintenance on a lighthouse. The pilot and the engineers didn’t leave the island until lunch time the day after. The machine was returned to Torslanda, where another Jet Ranger, SE-HEP, was picked up for the pilot’s return flight to Stockholm. The flight back to Barkarby Airport went via a hotel in Skövde, where Mr Göran Wallert, president of the company, and Mr Nils-Gunnar Grimskog, flight operations manager, were picked up.

This kind of venture was quite common back in the days. Ostermans Aero was the leading helicopter company in the country and had operations all over Sweden, as well as abroad.
