The aircraft is a former naval HKP 6B (06048) which has been brought back to life for historic purposes.

The Jet Rangers 06045 (Y-45) and 06052 (Y-52) are visible in the background. Y-45 was later painted as a replica of the police helicopter SE-HPB and mounted as a gateguard for a police museum in Stockholm. Y-52 was transferred to the Aeroseum Aviation Museum in Gothenburg.
The aircraft in this image, Y-48, went through a civil make-over process and was registered SE-JVB in early 2012. It will be flying next to SE-HGX as a living museum exhibit at air shows and events.Direct link: http://www.nordicrotors.com/SE-JVB/4282 -

Information about SE-JVB
Y-48 was constructed by the Italian manufacturer Agusta S.p.A. under a license with Bell Helicopter Company back in 1970. It entered service with the Swedish Navy the same year. The aircraft was included in a batch of 10 Jet Rangers intended for the Navy. The helicopters were designated HKP 6B and they came to be operated parallel to the older Alouette IIs (HKP 2) as light utility and training platforms for many years. The last naval HKP 2 was retired in 1985.
As a new joint military helicopter structure came to birth in 1998-1999 all Navy, Army and Air Force helicopters were incorporated in a combined fleet - the Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing. The new organization had no impact on the helicopters other than adding a wider range of operations. The naval Jet Rangers remained at the naval bases for their last years in service.
The family of HKP 6Bs was retired in 2003. This aircraft was stored for several years before it was transferred to the civil registry as SE-JVB in January 2012. The aircraft was included in the Air Force Museum's flying exhibit together with its sister ship SE-HGX (former 06054).
