| Some airshow shenanigans: note our plane in the mid ground, with the boeing stearman with 2 wing walking ladies in the middle of the frame.... One of Haakan's rare WWI Klemm airplanes in the foreground |

| We had a fun day exploring Stockhold with Mats and Tina, who we met last year at Skaa and have kept in contact with, here on one of the islands Thanks guys! |
We met Haakan at the Eslov airshow, his Klemm planes are very rare so he brought one in for people to look at and it was parked next to our plane. In the short time he was at the show, he was kind enought to invite us to his airfield near Stockholm and let us stay in his man cave.
 |
| Haakan has lived a varied life and has dozens of crazy stories to tell about his adventures. In Lithuania in the early 90s he bought some broken down horses, dug a pit, shot the horses and waited for the wolves to come...... |
 |
| Airstrip, farm buildings and the conference centre one of his sons runs. Yellow is traditionally the colour that the nobility (or the rich) painted their houses in Sweden. Haakan's estate is historically significant, but I'm afraid I've forgotten the details. |

| Nearby Sigtuna's town hall. Sigtuna is Sweden's first city, founded in 980AD but long surpassed by Stockholm |
 |
| Jimmy is a local of Sigtuna and very kindly showed us around, including some of the church ruins. |
