Information
This HKP 15B was constructed at the AgustaWestland plant at Vergiate, Italy, in 2008. It was delivered to the Helicopter Wing in April the same year.
The helicopter was the first in a batch of eight naval HKP 15Bs to be formally handed over to the Armed Forces.
The helicopter was eventually re-registered from
15033 to
152763. It is one of twenty AW109s in service with the
Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing. Twelve of these are inland versions (HKP 15A) and the remaining eight are maritime versions (HKP 15B). The helicopters are stationed at the air bases in Linköping/Malmen and Ronneby/Kallinge.
