Saab 91.B Safir
The yellow aircraft in the corner is the Saab 91.B Safir 56321.
The prototype
Saab 91 Safir flew for the first time in November 1945. Initially the Safir was
designed as a two to three seat light aircraft for the civilian market.
However, the Safir soon began to attract military interest. Safir 56321 was the
first 91.B variant to enter service with the Royal Norwegian Air Force and for
many years the aircraft was used as a basic trainer, serving at Vaernes Flykstajon
near Tondheim in North Western Norway.
