It was used as a temporary war base and was in use also after the war. It was used as a commercial airfield until 1979 when the commercial air-traffic moved to the Mora-Siljan airfield. The airfield still today has buildings since the time it was an airforce base, so it is actually a living museum!   A Saab B17 at a war airfield, possibly Tallhed.      Air-view of the airfield.
