    Регистрационный номер: SE-95   [2]

    The first Viking I after the application of its test registration, SE-95. A May 1931 report in Flight described the type as having a ‘‘strong resemblance to such British machines as the Puss Moth and Desoutter monoplane”, the latter being somewhat nearer the mark than the former. Flight also described it as “a very creditable effort”.

    NEW SWEDISH LIGHT PLANE: The "Viking," designed and built by Svenska Jarnvagsverkstaderna of Linkoping, was exhibited at Stockholm, and was described in our issue of May 29, 1931. The machine is fitted with a Cirrus-Hermes II B inverted engine, and is a three-seater capable of being converted into a twin-float seaplane. It can also be fitted with skis for use on snow.

    Another photograph of the second Viking I, SE-FYR, this time fitted with skis. The cabin was arranged with a single seat in front for the pilot, and a bench-type seat for two behind the pilot’s seat. Luggage could be stowed in the space behind the passengers’ seat. The wings, braced by steel-tube vees, were foldable to aid hangarage.
