Both naval police and conscripts served here. But it was also in this building that the detention centre was located. Perhaps it was someone who had been on the run? Or someone who had been out on the town and come home late? There were clear rules and if they were not followed, you were banned from the barracks or, in more serious cases, you had to sit in the cage under the supervision of the guards.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p><p>On the other side of the road (now part of Ikea's car park) there was once the now demolished fire station with fire, ambulance and rescue vehicles.

The boiler centre played an extremely important role in supplying the buildings around the flotilla workshop with heat and hot water. The other boiler centre, located in the flotilla area, produced heat and hot water for the other buildings and hangars in the flotilla area. The building was constructed in 1938-39.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p><p>Rebuilt for Stockholm Quality Outlet in 1997-98.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:gallery --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":994,\"width\":840,\"height\":509,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:gallery --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:gallery --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":971,\"width\":839,\"height\":508,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"className\":\"is-style-default\"} --><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns\"><div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 100%;\"><div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><p><!-- \/wp:gallery --><\/p><\/div><\/div><p><!-- \/wp:group --><\/p><\/div><p><!-- \/wp:column --><\/p><\/div><p><!-- \/wp:columns --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0ab6dd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d0ab6dd\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6213282 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6213282\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd7a9e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd7a9e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The hangar building<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79be93c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79be93c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the very first hangar building you can today find the Husqvarna Concept store.

An association that will nurture, strengthen and develop togetherness, camaraderie and the good relationship that has always existed between military, civilian and conscripted personnel.<\/p><p>The purpose of the association is to preserve the traditions of the Royal Swedish Air Force. It is a non-profit organisation that promotes contact between the defence forces and its members. In this way, it promotes knowledge about the defence and becomes part of the defence information system.
