(click on image for enlargement)

The laboratory has been named after Enoch Leonard Thulin (1881-1919) who was a pioneer in aviation. Enoch Thulin made several long distance flights in the years before World War I, for instance from Paris to Landskrona (in the south of Sweden) and he set a new scandinavian aviation record on the stretch Malmö - Stockholm (4 hours and 17 minutes). He also started an airplane factory in Landskrona that had 800 employees and where many new airplanes were constructed. Enoch Thulin started one of the oldest Swedish pilot schools at Ljungbyhed in the vicinity of Lund. Enoch Thulin died at the age of 39 in an airplane crash with one of his constructed airplanes.
