Byholma flygbas/airbase fält 85

One of many road bases used by the Swedish air force during the cold war, a so called Bas90. This one is situated just outside the small village of Byholma. Since the storm Gudrun in January 2005 when over 300 000 000 (!) trees fell in this region, this airbase has been converted to one of the largest lumber storage in the world, now including 1 000 000 m3 of timber. This will stay at this place until 2010, otherwise the market would be saturated. It is now a popular tourist place with a tourbus going in the summer. In later years the storage has been closed and the field left to its destiny.

Fällfors flygbas/airbase fält 40

The first base that was entered into the service, apart from one that was used for initial tests, Fällfors became the first bas90 base in Sweden. Situated outside the small village of Fällfors the tests at this site continued with the unique shelter for airplanes hosted in a nearby mountain. These type of structure were planned for all bases north of the Dalälven river but nerver put into action, leaving this one alone. Numerous tests were carried out in the tunnel, described in detail in this book. The pictures below is some of the pictures used in the book and non-used as well.
