Hi all.
I'm new to this forum and am doing extensive research into the history of SAS. One thing remains a mystery to me:
I have not been able to find any evidence of where the original headquarters were at the establishment in the late 40s and 50s.
I have read somewhere that it might have been in Bromma Airport Sthlm, but not a single photograph or anything of the like - or just confirmation.
Maybe someone on this forum can help?
Hope I posted this in the right place!
Kind regards
Troels

From the book "Fly over fly", written by Anders Buraas (1972):
(No date mentioned, but probably early August 1946).
In a hurry a two-story "pensjonat" (hotel?) was rented.
On the corner of "Kommandørsgatan and Brahegatan" in Stockholm.
Norlin and SAS moved in with sales dept, economy dept, and personell department.
The operations department in a "hut" by the entrance to Bromma airport.
When I get time, I will read further to see if the book mentions the next
location.

Thank you - and tak!
Jeres hjælp er fuldstændigt uvurderlig - selv hos SAS selv, har jeg ikke kunnet finde nogen information om dette!
Tusind, tusind tak for jeres gode og virkeligt grundige svar!
Bedste hilsner Troels

Er glad for å kunne hjelpe litt på ditt spørsmål.
Hvis du får tak i nevnte bok, så er det å anbefale.
Skrevet med en "Nordmanns" syn på dannelsen av SAS,og så vidt jeg husker
- fikk en del kritikk - for å ikke bare "rosemale" og gi et "glansbilde"
av forløpet og nasjonskampene ved starten av selskapet.
