Getting there
It's not as complicated as it sounds. The easiest is to fly to Copenhagen (Kastrup) and then take a train. Or fly from Stockholm (Arlanda) to Ronneby. Or boat from Gdynia, PL, to Karlskrona direct!
Visitors
We'll have demos from Nordic Air Defence, Saab, and more (tbc) on Thursday, where you will be invited to attend.
