Two ship flying at "lowest altitude". One struck Lake Furen and damaged the propeller. Pulled up but decided to ditch in nearby Lake Flåren due to severe vibrations and loss of power. Pilot safe.
The SwAF decided not to salvage the a/c from the lake (approx. 10 meters). Locals decided to lift the wreck. After that, SwAF retrieved the armament and most of the a/c ended up as parts for the locals (wheels to a combiner, oxygen tank become a welder, fuel to cars aso).
