This is mostly about dispersed basing:
http://www.canit.se/%7Egriffon/aviation/text/bas/dispersed_basing.html But it explains the thinking behind the underground hangars: They were mainly intended for interceptor squadrons near our largest cities; The rest of the air force was supposed to rely on dispersal and camouflage. There's also the matter that you can't build them everywhere there's an airbase. (We've got one naval wharf inside a mountain (you can imagine what you need to lift a periscope out of a submarine), but when it was planned, we planned for four more but couldn't find a place in the south - a hangar doesn't take quite as much but most wings weren't planned with that in mind. I've recently learned that at F 18 there's a lower level which was never finished; Just empty space and gravel floor today. Since you know so much about this subject could you please tell me where Sweden would have based the SAAB A-36 nuclear bomber and its weapon stores had that aircraft actually been built? Would they have had to build different nuclear bunkers and change their security around the dispersal area? Also, the SAAB A-36 would have been a much larger aircraft than your standard Swedish fighter of the late '50s... any comment? Rob |
