What this source can support
Reviewed 15 August 2026 · geometry completeness 57/100 · High for component counts and the 1939 estimate; low for assumed support area, fuel scope and whole-site replacement total.
The linked programme/site-total model has a base concept of about SEK 865.4m. It uses the 1,200 m runway but assumes a 40 m base width, 5,000 m² / 53,820 ft² support-building proxy, generic mission packages and a SEK 150m fuel/protected-support lump for which this source supplies no fuel quantity. It correctly uses four completed bunkers. The source's 27 revetments at 20 m by 12 m are not converted into an explicit earthworks/dispersal quantity. A second linked archetype model prices the same four bunkers at about SEK 28.2m, so the two published concepts are alternatives/components, not additive totals.
Supported useNamed surface wartime dispersal airfield begun in 1939. The source gives a 1939 construction estimate, a 1,200 m runway after the 1943 extension, 27 horseshoe revetments measuring 20 m by 12 m, four completed machine-gun bunkers, ammunition stores, anti-aircraft towers and maximum wartime use by 70 aircraft. It is now a cultural reserve.
Geometry evidencespan_m: value: 20 | unit: m | scope: aircraft revetment width | note: Each horseshoe revetment was also 12 m deep; this is not a building span. | inner_structure: value: surface grass/paved airfield with earth-and-timber revetments, barracks, concrete stores, air-defence towers and machine-gun bunkers | scope: focal airfield | note: No principal underground facility is described. | other: value: 1200 | unit: m | scope: runway length after 1943 | note: Runway width and pavement section are absent.; value: 27 | unit: aircraft revetments | scope: focal airfield | note: Each reported as 20 m wide by 12 m deep.; value: 4 | unit: machine-gun bunkers | scope: completed focal airfield | note: Three were standard; a fourth was built because the obstructing original was not demolished.; value: 5 | unit: anti-aircraft towers | scope: focal airfield | note: Two concrete towers for 40 mm guns and three timber towers for 20 mm guns.; value: 70 | unit: aircraft | scope: maximum reported wartime presence | note: Operational peak, not design geometry.; value: 12 | unit: t concrete | scope: 2011 reconstructed timber anti-aircraft tower | note: Concrete wall infill in a heritage reconstruction, not original airfield construction quantity.
Historic-cost evidenceamount: SEK 301,000 | year: 1939 | basis: initial construction estimate | scope: Krigsflygfält 16; later additional appropriations are mentioned but not quantified.; amount: SEK 7,600,000 | year: 2019 | basis: publisher-stated article-era equivalent | scope: Equivalent of the 1939 estimate; source gives no method or exact price date.; amount: SEK 30,000,000 per year | year: from 2008 | basis: national museum-network appropriation | scope: Sveriges militärhistoriska arv program, not an allocation to this one airfield.
Systems describedGrass/paved runway and masked field surfaces; Earth-and-tree aircraft revetments with timber lining and camouflage nets; Barracks, dining/kitchen and camouflaged aircraft barn; Concrete ammunition, mine and grenade stores; Four machine-gun bunkers; Concrete and timber anti-aircraft towers with nearby shelters; Movable anti-landing obstacles
Primary cost driversRunway earthworks, pavement area and drainage; Twenty-seven revetments and dispersal tracks; Barracks, aircraft barn and protected stores; Four machine-gun bunkers and five air-defence towers; Utilities and site-wide access; Heritage reconstruction standard if preservation is in scope
Unit / programme scopeOne airfield/site total, originally one of a 20-field emergency program. The national program count and later museum-network appropriation are not unit quantities or site costs.
Revision directionIndeterminate
Missing inputsRunway width and pavement build-up; Total site, taxiway and dispersal-track area; Revetment berm heights and earth volumes; Building/store floor areas; Bunker and tower dimensions; Fuel and utility systems, if any; Later appropriation amounts and actual final construction cost; Chosen operational versus heritage scope
Site / data issuessources_full.json lists only the main airfield dossier, while source_dossier_map.json correctly adds the Machine-gun bunkers dossier; the main airfield model already includes the same four bunkers, creating an aggregation double-count risk.; The source's narrative of three initial bunkers and four completed bunkers is sequential, not a contradiction.; The 30m annual appropriation is for a national museum network, not this facility.; The article-era SEK 7.6m equivalent lacks a transparent price basis.; The current model's generic fuel/protected-support allowance is not evidenced in this article.
