These walk-around photos were taken at Flygvapenmuseum at Malmen outside Linköping in 2022. They show a Scottish Aviation Pembroke C.1 (Tp 83), designated Tp 83 in Swedish service — a practical and versatile twin-engine light transport developed by the Percival Aircraft Company from their civil Prince feeder-liner. The Pembroke prototype first flew in November 1952 and entered RAF service the following year as a replacement for the Avro Anson, capable of carrying two crew and eight passengers at up to 360 km/h over ranges exceeding 1,600 kilometres. Its high-wing layout and robust undercarriage gave it good short-field capability, making it suitable for operation from the kind of grass strips and secondary airfields common in the Swedish Air Force's dispersed basing concept.
Sweden's acquisition of 16 Pembrokes as the Tp 83 was not entirely driven by operational requirement — the aircraft was part of a wider export package tied to the purchase of the Hawker Hunter. In Swedish service the Pembroke was used for communications, liaison, transport and navigation training, and served with a wide range of wings throughout its career. Individual 83008, c/n P66/52, was built in 1955 and over the following decades wore the markings of several different wings including F 17, F 11, F 4, F 3 and F 13 before being preserved at Flygvapenmuseum.
